Thanks. So I am on the right track with the summation. It just really confused me that he said to use integration. Maybe he just meant on the individual parts.
Thanks both for your help :)
Those two separate center of masses were derived, not given. I just don't know how to use those two in order to set up an integral to solve the center of mass of them combined.
Hi BruceW,
My last line was my summation of the two z com components. I'm really not sure where to go with it. I am supposed to set up an integral, I just do not know what to put in the integral.
Homework Statement
The z com of the entire ice cream cone, the base being an inverted right circular cone, the top a hemisphere. Equal density throughout. Must solve using integrals and density relationship.
Homework Equations
The z com of the top hemisphere (ice cream) is equal to 3/8 R...
