An object placed on the ground in the stable equilibrium. If the object is given a light push, then initially the position of centre of gravity

A

moves nearer to ground

B

rises higher above the ground

C

Remains as such

D

May remain at same level

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
In stable equilibrium, the centre of gravity of object, lies at minimum height from ground. As the object is given a slight push, its centre of gravity rises because it comes in unstable equilibrium.
