Point where whole weight of body acts vertically is called

1. center of mass
2. mid point
3. center of gravity
4. none of above

Correct answer: center of gravity

Solution

The whole weight of a body is the resultant gravitational force, and it is considered to act through the center of gravity. This is the point where the body’s total weight can be treated as concentrated vertically.
