Which of the following statements are correct?(a) Centre of mass of a body always coincides with the centre of gravity of the body.(b) Centre of mass of a body is the point at which the total gravitational torque on the body is zero.(c) A couple on a body produces both translational and rotational motion in a body.(d) Mechanical advantage greater than one means that small effort can be used to lift a large load.
To determine which statements are correct, let's analyze each one:(a) Centre of mass of a body always coincides with the centre of gravity of the body.• This statement is not always true. The center of mass and center of gravity coincide only when the gravitational field is uniform across the body. In non-uniform fields, they may not coincide.(b) Centre of mass of a body is the point at which the total gravitational torque on the body is zero.• This statement is true. The center of mass is the point where the total gravitational torque is zero, meaning it is the balance point of the body under gravity.(c) A couple on a body produces both translational and rotational motion in a body.
