Question
A uniform soda can of mass 0.141 kg is 12.1 cm tall and filled with 0.351 kg of soda (figure below). Then small holes are drilled in the top and bottom (with negligible loss of metal) to drain the
soda. (Initially the soda can is full.)
(a) What is the height h of the com of the can and contents initially?
cm
(b) What is the height h of the com of the can and contents after the can loses all the soda?
cm
(c) What happens to h as the soda drains out?
O decreases then rises again
decreases to the bottom
O rises to the top
O stays the same
(d) If x is the height of the remaining soda at any give instant, find x when the com reaches its lowest point.
