The Cartesian equation of trajectory is (where u = Velocity of projection, α = Angle of projection, and x, y = Co-ordinates of any point on the trajectory after t seconds.)
y = (gx²/2u² cos²α) + x. tanα
y = (gx²/2u² cos²α) - x. tanα
y = x. tanα - (gx²/2u² cos²α)
y = x. tanα + (gx²/2u² cos²α)

Pick up the incorrect statement from the following:
The C.G. of a circle is at its centre
The C.G. of a triangle is at the intersection of its medians
The C.G. of a rectangle is at the intersection of its diagonals
The C.G. of a semicircle is at a distance of r/2 from the centre
The bellow figure shows the three coplanar forces P, Q and R acting at a point O. If these forces are in equilibrium, then
