Learning Goal:
A centroid is an object's geometric center. For an object of uniform composition, its
centroid is also its center of mass. Often the centroid of a complex composite body is
found by, first, cutting the body into regular shaped segments, and then by calculating the
weighted average of the segments' centroids. An object is made from a uniform piece of
sheet metal. The object has dimensions of a=1.20ft, where a is the diameter of the
semi-circle, b=3.66ft, and c=2.30ft. A hole with diameter d=0.600ft is centered at

4.00 in tall cone. The interior height of the cone is 3.60 in. The cone has an exterior radius of 1.25 in and an interior radius of 1.10 in. The scoop of ice cream sits on the cone's interior radius and extends into the
cone some distance. Find the ?bar(z) centroid for the cone (the scoop of ice cream and the cone).
Express your answer numerically in inches to three significant figures.

Part E
The specific weight of the cone and scoop of ice cream are cone=10.0lbft3 and ice cream =45.0lbft3, respectively. What is ?bar(z), the location of the center of gravity of the cone (i.e., the cone and scoop of ice
cream)?
