The center of mass of an object: Must be located on the object. Generally coincides with the center of gravity for objects considered in engineering analysis if the gravitational field fo all parts of the object is uniform and parallel. Depends upon the variation of the value and direction of the force of gravity for each part of the object. Is always at the same point as the center of gravity.

The stability of an immersed body depends on the relative positions of the center of gravity of the body and the centroid of the displaced volume of fluid, which is the center of buoyancy. TRUE FALSE
1) The centroid of the submerged plane surface and the center of pressure are at the same location. True or False 2) The magnitude of pressure at the centroid of a surface and the magnitude of average pressure are different. True or False 3) On a plane surface, if we want to calculate the hydrostatic force, we need to determine (1) the magnitude of the force and (2) the location of pressure center. True or False
