Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The most stable objects have
A
high centre of gravity and narrow base
B
high centre of gravity and wide base
C
low centre of gravity and narrow base
D
low centre of gravity and wide base
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Stable objects have both a broad base of support and a low centre of gravity. The centre of gravity of an object could also be called its balance point. If you support the centre of gravity, the object will balance and be stable.

Detailed explanation-2: -Objects with a wide base, and a low centre of gravity, are more stable than those with a narrow base and a high centre of gravity.

Detailed explanation-3: -An object with a larger base area is more stable than an object with a smaller base area. For example, block S shown in Figure 9.11 is more stable than block R.
