Mass and weight — practice question

Three toys for children, X, Y and Z, all have the same size and shape. The weights inside them are placed at different positions, so the location of each toy’s centre of gravity is different. The centre of gravity of each toy is labelled P. Which toy is the most stable, and which toy is the least stable, when they are balanced in the positions shown?

  • Amost stable: X, least stable: Y
  • Bmost stable: X, least stable: Z
  • Cmost stable: Y, least stable: X
  • Dmost stable: Y, least stable: Z
