प्रश्न
Answer the following question.
Why do we need to know the center of mass of an object? For which objects, its position may differ from that of the center of gravity?

उत्तर
- Centre of the mass of an object allows us to apply Newton’s laws of motion to finite objects (objects of measurable size) by considering these objects as point objects.
- For objects in non–uniform gravitational field or whose size is comparable to that of the Earth (size at least few thousand km), the position of the centre of mass will differ than that of the centre of gravity.
