IT CON BE OUTIDE THE BODY
CONSIDER THE EXAMPLE OF A CIRCUAR RING
THE CENTRE OF GRAVITY WILL BE IN THE MIDDE

From shadows a light shall spring
Renewed shall be blade that's broken
The crown less again shall be king.

Both Centre of Mass as well as Centre of gravity may lie inside or outside the body depending upon the distribution of masses in the body.

It can be outside the body.

If the path is beautiful, let us not ask where it leads. But if the DESTINATION is beautiful, let us not ask HOW THE PATH IS.

yes
ie
IF DISTRIBUTION OF MASS IS SYMMETRIC THEN CENTER LIES IN GEOMETRICAL CENTER...

IF NOT THEN CENTER MAY LIE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE DEPENDING ON THE GEOMETRY OF DISTRIBUTION.

EG: HOLLOW CYLINDER,CIRCULAR RING HAVE THEIR CENTER OF GRAVITY IN THEIR GEOMETRICAL CENTER WHICH IN HOLLOW.
