Homework Statement
there is a composite shape (cone with ring attached at open end) total mass 52kg,cone m=22kg, ring=30kg find the 2 forces acting vertically upwards. the shape is lying on its side 21deg from the horizontal.
Homework Equations
(xtotal x mtotal) = (xcone x mcone) + (xring x mring)
balance forces ( up=down and left=right)
The Attempt at a Solution
find the CG using (xtotal x mtotal) = (xcone x mcone) + (xring x mring)
resolve forces into verical and horizontal components
balance forces
the problem I am having is that one force is acting through the centrline at the tip of the cone and the other force is acting at the bottom point of the ring ( see pic)
please help i am pulling my hair out!
