A uniform soda can of mass 0.140 kg is 12.0 cm tall and filled with 0.354 kg of soda. Then small holes are drilled in the top and bottom (with negligible loss of metal) to drain the soda. What is the height “h” of the center of mass of the can and contents (a) initially and (b) after the can loses all the soda ? (c) What happens to h as the soda drains out?

Question
A uniform soda can of mass 0.140 kg is 12.0 cm tall and filled with 0.354 kg of soda. Then small holes are drilled in the top and bottom (with negligible loss of metal) to drain the soda. What is the height “h” of the center of mass of the can and contents (a) initially and (b) after the can loses all the soda ? (c) What happens to h as the soda drains out? (d) If x is the height of the remaining soda at any given instant, find x when the com reaches its lowest point .
