Determine the center of mass of a uniform cone of height h and radius R, with its axis pointing along z. (Hints: What is the CM in x and y? Let λ by the mass density per unit volume, and find the mass of the thin disk shown in the drawing. How is r/z related to R/h?)
For the distribution of particles appearing in the plane of the figure, all particles have the same mass m. Determine:
a) The coordinates of the center of mass of the systemb) The coordinates in which a fourth particle of mass 2m must be placed so that the center of mass of the new system moves to the origin of coordinates.
