In case of a right circular cone, its centre of gravity is on the line of altitude and is at H/4 distance from the base where H is the altitude of the right circular cone. Now, take the vector sum of all the forces then resultant force acts on a specific point and that point is called the centre of gravity.

Centroid of right circular cone lies at a height h/4 from reference x-axis.

For triangle its h/3.

For Solid cone it is h/4.

I think so, from base axis Y axis is h/3.

Rajkotha said:   6 years ago
Solid cone = h/4.
Hollow cone = h/3.

It will be h/3.
