A sphere of diameter r is cut from a sphere of radius r such that the centre of mass the remaining mass be at maximum distance from orinal center. the distance is
Hello!!!
Hope you are doing great!!!
The radius of the bigger sphere=r
let x be the distance between center of mass from the original center of the sphere after the smaller sphere has cut.
let the density of the bigger sphere be d
mass of the bigger sphere = 4/3* π r^3d
mass of the smaller sphere= 4/3* π(r/2)^3d
mass of the remaining sphere= 4/3* π r^3d - 4/3* π(r/2)^3d
on solving,we get,,,, 7/6* π r^3d
position of the center of mass of the complete sphere=0
=-x*7/6 π r^3d+r/2*4/3 π (r/2)^3d=0
on solving we get,x=r/14
Hope it helps!!!
