Question: I am facing the problem in understanding center of gravity.By Vikash Jha
Answer:
Center of gravity is the mean location of the gravitational force acting on a body. Technically it is the point on a body in which the entire weight is supposed to be concentrated.
The term center of mass is often used interchangeably with center of gravity, but they are physically different concepts. They happen to coincide in a uniform gravitational field, but where gravity is not uniform, center of gravity refers to the mean location of the gravitational force acting on a body. This results in small but measurable gravitational torque that must be accounted for in the operation of artificial satellites.
