ROTATIONAL MOTION

What role does mass distribution play in locating the CG?

• It has no role
• It makes the CG lighter
• It determines where the balancing point will be
• It hides the CG

Which principle ensures that the cardboard does not accelerate vertically?

• Rotational equilibrium
• Conservation of energy
• Newton's first law
• Translational equilibrium

What happens to the CG when a body is deformed?

• It remains fixed
• It disappears
• It may shift depending on how mass is redistributed
• It moves to the edge

How does the shape of a body influence the location of its CG?

• It has no effect
• It makes the CG always central
• It affects mass distribution, which determines the balance point
• It shifts the CG outside the material

What type of equilibrium is achieved when a body is balanced at its CG?

• Dynamic equilibrium
• Thermal equilibrium
• Chemical equilibrium
• Mechanical equilibrium
