The centre of gravity for a solid hemisphere about its diametral base having diameter 120 cm and is symmetric about y-axis is (in cm):
Show Hint
Be careful not to confuse a solid hemisphere with a hollow hemispherical shell:
- Solid Hemisphere: Distance from base = \(\frac{3R}{8}\)
- Hollow Hemispherical Shell: Distance from base = \(\frac{R}{2}\)
Using the correct solid hemisphere formula yields 22.5 cm.
