An object placed on the ground is in stable equilibrium. If the object is given a slight push, then initially the position of centre of gravity
moves nearer to ground
rises higher above the ground
remains as such
may remain at same level
Solution
In stable equilibrium, the centre of gravity of object, lies at minimum height from ground. As the object is given a slight push, its centre of gravity rises because it comes in unstable equilibrium.
