(N/A) homogeneous body is defined as a body whose mass density is uniform throughout its entire volume. This means that at any point within the body,the mass per unit volume remains constant. Mathematically,if $\rho$ is the density,then $\rho = \frac{dm}{dV} = \text{constant}$ for all points inside the body. For such bodies,the center of mass coincides with the geometric center of the body.
