Where is the centre of gravity of a solid cone located?

Explanation:

The center of gravity (CG) of a solid cone is located along the axis of the cone, and its distance from the base is given by: At a height \(\frac{h}{4}\) from the base along the axis

Additional InformationCenter of gravity (CG)

1. Definition: The center of gravity (CG) is the point where the entire weight of a body can be considered to act, assuming uniform gravitational field.

2. Location:

   • It depends on the shape and density distribution of the object.

   • For uniform objects, CG coincides with the geometric center.

   • For irregular or composite objects, it is calculated based on the mass distribution.

3. For Simple Shapes:

   • Symmetrical bodies (like spheres, cylinders, and cones) have their CG at the geometric center.

   • Asymmetrical bodies (like irregular shapes) require integration methods to find the CG.
