Center of gravity of an object depends on it's

• weight

• mass

• density

• shape

Where the center of gravity of a circle lies?

• At its centre

• Anywhere on its radius

• Anywhere on its circumference

• Anywhere on its diameter

What is one way you might increase the stability of an object?

• Lower the center of gravity

• Raise the center of gravity

• Increase the height of the object

• Shorten the base of the object

If we suspend lamina at different positions, its center of gravity will still lie along the

• Plumb line

• Line of force

• Line of weight

• Gravity line

Where is the centre of gravity of a ball

• On the outside edge of the ball

• A point not touching the ball

• The centre of the ball

• On the top of the ball

What stops you from standing up when not leaning forward in your chair?
