    The lowest centre of mass while filling a cup of water?

    yep ok Moment of Empty mug = mh/2 When the water has depth h, the mass is 3m. Take mass of water as km where 0\leq k \leq3 therefore height of water = hk/3 and moment of water is mass x distance from base = km*(hk/3)*1/2 = ((k^2)mh)/6 Moment of the whole system = (m+km)Y (where Y =...

    The lowest centre of mass while filling a cup of water?

    Homework Statement Ok, there's a cylindrical mug of mass m. When full of water it has a mass 4m. Assuming the base of the mug has no mass, how full is the water in the mug when the centre of mass is the closest to the base? (as a proportion of the height of the mug I'm guessing) The...
