Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct answer is:

: The position of center of mass of a body depends on shape, size and distribution of mass of

the body. The center of mass does not lie necessarily at the center of the body. Many objects have a point, a line or a plane of symmetry. The center of mass of such an object then lies at that point, on that line or in that plane. Also the center of mass of an object need not lie within the object, like no iron at the center of mass of a horse shoe.
