Question

We first make equilibrium equations of the body by considering all the three dimensional forces and then the free body diagram is made and then equations are made to be applied so as to calculate the centre of mass.

(a) The first part of the statement is false and other part is true

(b) The first part of the statement is false and other part is false too

(c) The first part of the statement is true and other part is false

(d) The first part of the statement is true and other part is true too

The question was asked in quiz.

The question is from Centre of Mass in section Centre of Gravity and Centroid of Engineering Mechanics

Answer 1

Correct option is (d) The first part of the statement is true and other part is true too

The best explanation: We first make the free body diagram and then we make the equilibrium equations to satisfy the given conditions. This helps us to solve the question easily. As this reduces the part of imagination and increases accuracy too.
