The centre of mass of a solid hemisphere of radius 8cm8cm is xcmxcm from the centre of the flat surface. Then value of xx is

Correct answer

3

Step-by-step solution

Centre of Mass of a solid hemisphere from centre of the flat surface is given by,hcm=3R8{h}_{cm} = \dfrac{3R}{8}

It is given that R=8cmR = 8cm

Therefore,

x=hcm=3R8=3×88x=3cmx = {h}_{cm} = \dfrac{3R}{8} = \dfrac{3 \times 8}{8}x = 3cm
