Assertion: The centre of gravity of a body coincides with its centre of mass only if the gravitational field does not vary form one part of the body to the other. Reason: Centre of gravity is independent of the gravitational field.

Assertion : For a floating body to be in stable equilibrium, its centre of buoyancy must be located above the centre of gravity. Reason : The torque produced by the weight of the body and the upthrust will restore body back to its normal position, after the body is disturbed.

Assertion : The moment of inertia of a rigid body reduces to its minimum value, when the axis of rotation passes through its centre of gravity. Reason : The weight of a rigid body always acts through its centre of gravity.
