I need to find the center of mass of a cone with point facing downwards, of height H and radius R.
Since the density is constant throughout and because of axial symmetry the center must be somewhere on the z-axis.
I know from convention that this is H/4 but i need to derive this.
Rcm = (intregral from 0 to H) of the change in radius
this is where I am stumped
i did really bad in calculus
could anyone help me?
