Q.

As shown in figure, when a spherical cavity (centred at O) of radius 1 is cut out of a uniform sphere of radius R (centred at C). The center of mass of remaining (shaded) part of sphere is at G, i.e., on the surface of the cavity.

R can be determined by the equation:

Detailed Solution

putting the cavity's centre at O and the solid sphere's centre at C.

Origin should be at G.

The sphere's mass is assumed to be m1, which may be expressed as:

M1=43πR3ρ M2=43π(1)3(-ρ) XCOM=M1X1+M2X2M1+M2 XCOM=43πR3ρ0+43π(1)3(-ρ)R-143πR3ρ+43π(1)3(-ρ)=-(2-R) XCOM=(R-1)(R3-1)=(2-R) XCOM=(R2+R+1)(2-R)=1

Hence the correct answer is (R2+R+1)(2-R)=1.
