⚡ Mecademy AIENG정역학 · ch5  Problem Statement Determine the depth of the square cutout in the uniform hemisphere for which the - coordinate of the mass center will have the maximum possible value. Problem 5/58 (a) Determination of the depth for maximum -coordinate of the mass center 1. Present Final Formula: We treat the body as a composite of a full hemisphere (Body 1) and a square prism cutout (Body 2) which is removed. Let the origin be at the center of the flat circular face and the -axis point into the hemisphere. The - coordinate of the centroid of the composite body is given by: 2. Substitute Values: From the geometry of the problem, the side of the square cutout is . The properties of the individual parts are: Hemisphere (Body 1): , Square Prism (Body 2): , Substituting these into the centroid formula: 3. Partial Operations: To find the maximum value of , we set its derivative with respect to to zero: .
