Hi Chet,
Sorry about that, there was a typo in the document I attached in my previous post. I have updated the pdf and you can see that the units of the three terms in parenthesis in A do in fact match. I think the derivation is correct.
For example, consider a hollow conical frustum with the...
Hi Guys,
I managed to derive a general equation for calculating the COG of a hollow conical frustum and have attached a pdf with the details. I think it is correct. If I calculate the COG of a hollow conical frustum using this equation I get the same value as when I split the frustum up into...
Hi Pranav,
Thanks for the welcome and the response.
As I mentioned in my original post, I am able to calculate the centre of mass for a hollow conical frustum by dividing into a number of hollow rings. As this approach is quite tedious however, I was hoping that somebody might help me...
Homework Statement
I would like to find a general equation for calculating the centre of gravity (COG) of a hollow conical frustum.
Homework Equations
Consider a solid conical frustum as shown below:
The COG of this shape may be derived as follows:
COG =...
