Solve the following problem.
A uniform solid sphere of radius R has a hole of radius R/2 drilled inside it. One end of the hole is at the center of the sphere while the other is at the boundary. Locate center of mass of the remaining sphere.
उत्तर
Let the centre of the sphere be origin O. Then, r1 be the position vector of the centre of mass of uniform solid sphere and r2 be the position vector of the centre of mass of the cut-out part of the sphere.
Now, mass of the sphere is given as,
M = `(4/3 pi"R"^3)rho` ....(i)
Hence, the mass of the cut part of the sphere will be,
M' = `[4/3 pi("R"/2)^3]rho` .....(∵ sphere is uniform, ρ = constant)
∴ M' = `(4/3 pi"R"^3)rho xx 1/8`
`= "M"/8` ....[From (i)]
From figure, r1 = 0, r2 = `"R"/2`
∴ Position vector of centre of mass of remaining part,
`"r"_"cm" = ("M" xx "r"_1 - "M'" xx "r"_2)/("M" - "M'")`
`= ("M" xx 0 - ("M"/8) xx "R"/2)/("M" - "M"/8)`
`= ((- "RM")/16 xx 8/"7M")`
`"r"_"cm" = (-"R")/14`
(Negative sign indicates the distance is on left side of the origin.)
Position of centre of mass of remaining sphere is `(-"R")/14`

Separation of Motion of a system of particles into motion of the centre of mass and motion about the centre of mass:
- Show pi = p’i + miV Where pi is the momentum of the ith particle (of mass mi) and p′ i = mi v′ i. Note v′ i is the velocity of the ith particle relative to the centre of mass. Also, prove using the definition of the centre of mass `sum"p""'"_"t" = 0`
-
Show K = K′ + 1/2MV2
where K is the total kinetic energy of the system of particles, K′ is the total kinetic energy of the
system when the particle velocities are taken with respect to the centre of mass and MV2/2 is the
kinetic energy of the translation of the system as a whole (i.e. of the centre of mass motion of the
system). The result has been used in Sec. 7.14. - Show where `"L""'" = sum"r""'"_"t" xx "p""'"_"t"` is the angular momentum of the system about the centre of mass with
velocities taken relative to the centre of mass. Remember `"r"_"t" = "r"_"t" - "R"`; rest of the notation is the standard notation used in the chapter. Note L′ and MR × V can be said to be angular momenta, respectively, about and of the centre of mass of the system of particles. - Show `"dL"^"'"/"dt" = ∑"r"_"i"^"'" xx "dP"^"'"/"dt"`
