Which among the following is TRUE about the center of mass and geometric center? Geometric center can be outside an object while the center of mass should always be inside. Center of mass is always in the same location as the geometric center. Geometric center accounts a position only, while center of mass only considers the object's mass. Geometric center accounts only a position while the center of mass considers both masses and its locations. Three items are placed on a board. Item A(3 kg) is placed on (0.5 m, 2.5 m), Item B (3 kg) is located at (3.5m, 2.5 m) and Item C(4 kg) is at (2.5 m, 0.5 m). Find the center of mass of this 3-point system. O (2.5 m, 1.0 m) O (1.0 m, 1.7 m) O (2.0 m, 1.7 m) (1.7 m, 2.5 m)
