Question









pint) PHYS 1730-Section Username ID (xxx9999): Questions onsidering the fact that an object will balance at its center-of-gravity, what is an equivalent definition of the center-of-gravity in terms of the torques exerted by the various parts of the object? Caunter ClocK oNS Suppose a truck is to be weighed on some scales, but the truck weighs between 3 and 4 times more than the scales are capable of measuring. How could the truck be weighed using these scales? 2. Does the actual location of the center of gravity of an object depend on which part of the object you choose for the pivot point in your equilibrium calculations? Explain. 3.

Explanation / Answer

Answer to the first Question...

1.

A point in a body is a point where total weight of the body is concentrated is called Center of gravity of the body.


in other words,

The center of gravity of a body is a point where the total gravitational torque on the body is zero.

Its is possible that the center of gravity of the body is outside the body.
