TopicCircular Motion 2
TypeEnergy considerations in circular motion
DifficultyStandard +0.8 This is a multi-part Further Maths mechanics problem requiring volume of revolution (shown), center of mass calculation for a solid of revolution, composite body center of mass with different densities, and toppling equilibrium analysis. While the techniques are standard for FM2, the combination of several concepts and the need to carefully track the geometry and density ratios makes it moderately challenging but still within typical Further Maths scope.

\end{figure} The region \(R\), shown shaded in Figure 4, is bounded by part of the curve with equation \(y ^ { 2 } = 2 x\), the line with equation \(y = 2\) and the \(y\)-axis. The unit of length on both axes is one centimetre. A uniform solid, \(S\), is formed by rotating \(R\) through \(360 ^ { \circ }\) about the \(y\)-axis.
Given that the volume of \(S\) is \(\frac { 8 } { 5 } \pi \mathrm {~cm} ^ { 3 }\),
  1. show that the centre of mass of \(S\) is \(\frac { 1 } { 3 } \mathrm {~cm}\) from its plane face. A uniform solid cylinder, \(C\), has base radius 2 cm and height 4 cm . The cylinder \(C\) is attached to \(S\) so that the plane face of \(S\) coincides with a plane face of \(C\), to form the paperweight \(P\), shown in Figure 5. The density of the material used to make \(S\) is three times the density of the material used to make \(C\). \begin{figure}[h]

The region $R$, shown shaded in Figure 4, is bounded by part of the curve with equation $y ^ { 2 } = 2 x$, the line with equation $y = 2$ and the $y$-axis. The unit of length on both axes is one centimetre. A uniform solid, $S$, is formed by rotating $R$ through $360 ^ { \circ }$ about the $y$-axis.\\
Given that the volume of $S$ is $\frac { 8 } { 5 } \pi \mathrm {~cm} ^ { 3 }$,
\begin{enumerate}[label=(\alph*)]
\item show that the centre of mass of $S$ is $\frac { 1 } { 3 } \mathrm {~cm}$ from its plane face.

A uniform solid cylinder, $C$, has base radius 2 cm and height 4 cm . The cylinder $C$ is attached to $S$ so that the plane face of $S$ coincides with a plane face of $C$, to form the paperweight $P$, shown in Figure 5. The density of the material used to make $S$ is three times the density of the material used to make $C$.
