In a uniform gravitational field, the centre of gravity is identical to the:
ACentre of mass
BCentre of motion
CCentre of moment
DCentre of contact
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Centre of mass
1. Both points describe an average position.
2. With uniform gravity they coincide.
3. So it equals the centre of mass.
