Correct Answer: 3
Solution and Explanation
Use the standard result for a solid hemisphere: \(x=\frac{3R}{8}\).
With R = 8 cm: \(x=\frac{3\times8}{8}=3\) cm.
Answer: 3
With R = 8 cm: \(x=\frac{3\times8}{8}=3\) cm.

- Two masses $m$ and $\frac{m}{2}$ are connected at the two ends of a massless rigid rod of length $l$. The rod is suspended by a thin wire of torsional constant $k$ at the centre of mass of the rod-mass system(see figure). Because of torsional constant $k$, the restoring torque is $\tau =k\theta$ for angular displacement $\theta$. If the rod is rota ted by $\theta_0$ and released, the tension in it when it passes through its mean position will be:
