A hemispherical cavity of radius R is created in a solid sphere of radius 2R as shown in the figure. The y-coordinate of the centre of mass of the remaining sphere is
  1. yCM=-R15
  2. y CM = - R 4 0
  3. yCM=-R30
  4. yCM=-R20

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
