A uniform solid right circular cone of base radius `R` is joined to a uniform solid hemisphere of radius `R` and of the same density, as shown. The centre of mass of the composite solid lies at the centre of base of the cone. The height of the cone is

A

1.5R

B

`sqrt(3)R`

C

3R

D

`2sqrt(3)R`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`((1)/(3)piR^(2)h)pxx(h)/(4)=((2)/(3)piR^(3))p(3R)/(8)`
`h=sqrt(3)R`
