Question

The centre of mass of a solid hemisphere of radius 8 cm is X cm from the centre of the flat surface.

Then value of x is ______________.

Answer 1

3

Answer 2

The position of the centre of mass of a solid hemisphere of radius R from the centre of its flat surface (base) is given by the formula: $x = \frac{3R}{8}$

Given radius of the hemisphere, R = 8 cm.

Substitute the value of R into the formula: $x = \frac{3 \times 8}{8}$ $x = 3$ cm

Thus, the centre of mass is 3 cm from the centre of the flat surface.
