A hemispherical cavity of radius R is created in a solid sphere of radius 2 R as shown in the figure. The y -coordinate of the centre of mass of the remaining sphere is
Options
- Ay CM = - R 15
- By CM = - R 4 0
- Cy CM = - R 30
- Dy CM = - R 20
Correct answer
B. y CM = - R 4 0
Step-by-step solution
x CM = 4 3 π 2 R 3 0 - 2 3 π R 3 R 4 3 π 2 R 3 - 2 3 π R 3 = - R 1 5 y CM = 4 3 π 2 R 3 0 - 2 3 π R 3 3 R 8 4 3 π 2 R 3 - 2 3 π R 3 = - R 4 0 z CM = 0
