An object placed on the ground is in stable equilibrium. If the object is given a slight push, then initially the position of center of gravity
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
rises higher above the ground
In stable equilibrium, the center of gravity of object, lies at minimum height from ground. As the object is given a slight push, its center of gravity rises because it comes in unstable equilibrium.
