हिन्दीGiven below are two statements: Statement I: The centre of gravity of a small, homogeneous body coincides with its centre of mass. Statement II: The centre of gravity of an irregular flat cardboard can be determined experimentally by suspending it freely from two or more points and finding the intersection of the plumb lines. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Correct answer · Option 1
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
Explanation
When \( g \) is uniform throughout the body, CG coincides with CM, and vertical lines drawn from suspension points always pass through the CG.
