How does an object's form affect its center of gravity?

37. How does an object's form affect its center of gravity?

1. The shape has no effect on the Centre of Gravity
2. Irregular shapes have a lower Centre of Gravity
3. The shape determines the location of the Centre of Gravity
4. All objects have the same Centre of Gravity regardless of shape

Answer

The correct answer is: C) The shape determines the location of the Centre of Gravity

Explanation

The shape of an object significantly affects the location of its Centre of Gravity. Irregular shapes may have a non-obvious or asymmetrical COG compared to regular shapes.
