(1) Centre of gravity (C.G.) of a body is the point at which the weight of the body acts,
(2) Centre of mass coincides with the centre of gravity if the earth is assumed to have infinitely large radius,
(3) To evaluate the gravitational field intensity due to any body at an external point, the entire mass of the body can be cosidered to be concentrated at its C.G..,
(4) The radius of gyration of any body rotating about ab axis is the length of the perpendicular dropped from thr C.G. the body to the axis. which one of the following paries of statements is correct ?

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Centre of gravity of a body is the point at which the weight of the body acts and the radius of gyration of any body rotating abou an axis is the length of the perpendicular ropped from the CG of the body to the axis .
