The centre of gravity (CG) of an object is the point around which the total gravitational force on the object is equal to zero.
It is located at the same distance from each point on the object's surface.
The CG is a fixed point, regardless of the object's shape or size.
The CG is often used as a reference point for determining the centre of mass of an object, which is the point around which the total mass of the object is distributed.
An object is in equilibrium if its CG is located at the same point as its centre of mass. This means that the object is not accelerating
