Determine the centre of gravity of a thin homogeneous plate having the form of a rectangle with sildes r and `2r` from which a semicircle with a radius r is cut out of figure.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`Oc = (2pi)/(3(4 - pi))`

`x_(cm) = ((rho2r^(2)) (r )/(2) - (rho(pir^(2))/(2)) ((4r)/(3pi)))/((rho2r^(2)) - (rho(pir^(2))/(2)))= (2r)/(3(4 - pi))`

In the given figure, AB = 36 cm and M is the midpoint of AB. Semicircles are drawn on AB, AM and MB as diameters. A circle with centre C touches all the three circles. Find the area of shaded region. [Hint : Take O as the centre of semicircle on diameter AM. Take the radius of the circle with centre C as r. Then , OC = (9 + r)cm, OM = 9 cm and CM = (18-r) cm. Now, use Pythagoras theorem and find r = 6 cm.]
