Centre of Gravity - Elementary Science
Every body is made up of a large number of particles.
In a rigid body the particles are held together in a fixed position relevant to one another.
Let F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6 be the forces acting on the particle P, Q, R, S, T, U respectively.
The line showing the direction of this resultant force is called the line of action.
This total force or weight of the body appears to act through the fixed point G irrespective of the position or orientation of the body, this point G is called center of gravity of the body (G) the position of the centre of gravity of a body may be falling inside or outside the material of the body.
Center of gravity of a body is defined as a point of application of the resultant force due to the earth`s attraction on it. Center of gravity of regular bodies.
Let us consider some regular bodies. Take uniform meter scale A, B and note its mid point G. if the scale is suspended at point P or Q it dose not remain . if the scale is suspended at the mid point G its remain horizontal and stable. This geometric mid point is the center of gravity G of the scale.
For a body which has uniform density and regular shape the center of gravity G coincides with the geometric center.
Feeding and Digestion in Amoeba - Elementary Science
Amoeba is a single celled microscopic organisms mostly found in pond water. It has a cell membrane rounded nucleus and a small bubble like vacuums in its plasma. It changes its shape and pollution constantly. It projects out finger like projections called pseudopodia which is used to trap other microscopic organisms or other food particles. The food is trapped and gradually the food is digested and absorbed. These absorbed substances are used for growth, maintenance and multiplication of the organisms.
