The centre of mass of an extended body on the surface of the earth and its centre of gravity:
(a) | are always at the same point for any size of the body. |
(b) | are always at the same point only for spherical bodies. |
(c) | can never be at the same point. |

A meter scale is moving with uniform velocity. This implies:
1. | the force acting on the scale is zero, but a torque about the centre of mass can act on the scale. |
2. | the force acting on the scale is zero and the torque acting about the centre of mass of the scale is also zero. |
3. | the total force acting on it need not zero but the torque on it is zero. |
4. | neither the force nor the torque needs to be zero. |
