State the factors on which the position of the centre of mass of a rigid body depends.

The position of the center of mass in the rigid body depends on several factors. One of these includes the distribution of mass within the object. Thus, an object of uniformly distributed mass has a center of mass at its geometric center, while an unevenly distributed mass has a center nearer to the heavier region. The shape of the body is also involved in this; symmetrical shapes have their center of mass at the center of symmetry, while asymmetrical shapes have it offset from that point. Disturbance in density would further shift the positions of the center of mass toward denser regions. For systems of bodies, further external forces or constraints can affect its position.
