INTEGRATION The inner and outer radii of a half hollow sphere are a and b.Find the center of gravity.Please help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Through intergration

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have to consider this as a solid sphere and then integrate from a to b right?

Can you help? @ganeshie8 @zepdrix

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know the answer but don't know how to prove

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nope

zepdrix (zepdrix):

center of gravity? .... wh... ut? 0_o

geerky42 (geerky42):

Nothing to do with moment of inertia lol

geerky42 (geerky42):

I think it's best that you define for us exactly what "center of gravity" is. @Zupari

geerky42 (geerky42):

Looks more like question for physicist, not mathematician lol.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry i don't know the exact english word but i think thats the word

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Centre of gravity of a hollow sphere is a/2 likewise you have to integrate and find the point of this object

zepdrix (zepdrix):

the translation is fine :) im just not familiar with the concept. hmm

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

is it a complete sphere or an hemisphere ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hemishpere

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

because if it were a complete sphere, dont u think the center of gravity just lies at the center

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

ohk..

geerky42 (geerky42):

Complete sphere would be more trivial, but he still have to prove it either way.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

answer is 3{(a+b)(a^2 + b^2)}/8( a^2 + ab + b^2)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

do you mean (0, 0, 3{(a+b)(a^2 + b^2)}/8( a^2 + ab + b^2))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think so

OpenStudy (anonymous):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiAH-Ev6PRA watch this if u don't know the concept.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

likewise you have to apply that to this boy.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dont know how but i

OpenStudy (anonymous):
