JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 6. system of particles and rotational motion

Distance of the centre of mass of a solid uniform cone from its vertex is \(z_0\) . If the radius of its base is \(R\) and its height is \(h\) then \(z_0\) is equal to

  1. A \(\frac{{3h}}{4}\)
  2. B \(\;\frac{{5h}}{8}\)
  3. C \(\;\frac{{3{h^2}}}{{8R}}\)
  4. D \(\;\frac{{{h^2}}}{{4R}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{{3h}}{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{array}{l} {y_{cm}} = \frac{{\int {ydm} }}{{\int {dm} }}\\ \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{\int\limits_0^h {\pi {r^2}dy\rho \times y} }}{{\frac{1}{3}\pi {R^2}h\rho }} = \frac{{3h}}{4} \end{array}\)
