Q62 / 90 · JEE Main 2015 (04 Apr) · Physics
Distance of the centre of mass of a solid uniform cone from its vertex is . If the radius of its base is and its height is then is equal to:
- A
- B
- Correct answerC
- D
Solution
Let the mass of solid cylinder is and angle with vertical is . Now, we take a small element of thickness at a distance from the vertex. The radius of small element is , as shown in the figure below.

Then, which will give, . The density of the cone is given by,
.
The mass of the small element is given by,
The center of mass of the cone is given by,
.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
