Q1:

The C.G. of a right circular cone lies on its axis of symmetry at a height of

A h/2

B h/3

C h/4

D h/5

E h/6

ANS:C - h/4

The center of gravity (C.G.) of a right circular cone lies along its axis of symmetry and divides the axis in a ratio of 1:3 from the vertex (top) to the base (bottom) of the cone. So, if ℎh represents the height of the cone, the C.G. lies at a height of ℎ/4h/4 from the base of the cone. Therefore, the correct option is: ℎ/4​
