Halliday, Resnick & Walker β Center of Mass and Linear Momentum: Problem 8
8 A uniform soda can of mass 0.140 kg is 12.0 cm tall and filled with 0.354 kg of soda (Fig. 9-30). Then small holes are drilled in the top and bottom (with negligible loss of metal) to drain the soda. What is the height h of the com of the can and contents (a) initially and (b) after the can loses all the soda? (c) What happens to h as the soda drains out? (d) If x is the height of the remaining soda at any given instant, find x when the com reaches its lowest point.
π Solution Approach
Given: 8 A, 0.140 kg, 12.0 cm, 0.354 kg
Find: (a) initially and; (b) after the can loses all the soda?; (c) What happens to h as the soda drains out?
