Give an example to show that the following statement is false. 'any two forces acting on a body can be combined into single force that would have same effect'.

A rectangle block rests on a horizontal table. A horizontal force is applied on the block at a height h above the table to move the block. Does the line of action of the normal force N exerted by the table on the block depend on h?

Four bodies of masses 5 kg, 2 kg, 3 kg and 4 kg are respectively placed at position (0, 0, 0), (2, 0, 0) (0, 3, 0) and (-2, -2, 0) calculate the moment of inertia about x-axis, y-axis and z-axis.

Give examples where the centre of mass coincides with the geometrical centre of the body.
