point at which the weight of the body acts
(2) Centre of mass coincides with the centre of
gravity if the earth is assumed to have infinitely
large radius.
(3) To evaluate the gravitational field intensity
due to any body at an external point, the entire
mass of the body can be considered to be
concentrated at its C. G
(4) The radius of gyration of any body
rotating about an axis is the length of the
perpendicular dropped from the C. G. of the
body to the axis.
