Chapter 9 - 9.9
9. (a) Since the can is uniform, its center of mass is at its geometrical center, a distance H/ 2aboveits
base. The center of mass of the soda alone is at its geometrical center, a distance x/ 2abovethe
base of the can. When the can is full this is H/ 2. Thus the center of mass of the can and the soda
it contains is a distance
h = M ( H/ 2)+ m ( H/ 2)
M + m
= H
2
above the base, on the cylinder axis.
(b) We nowconsider the can alone. The center of mass is H/ 2 above the base, on the cylinder axis.
(c) As x decreases the center of mass of the soda in the can at first drops, then rises to H/ 2 again.
(d) When the top surface of the soda is a distance x above the base of the can, the mass of the soda in
the can is m p = m ( x/H ), where m is the mass when the can is full ( x = H ). The center of mass
of the soda alone is a distance x/ 2 above the base of the can. Hence
h = M ( H/ 2)+ m p ( x/ 2)
M + m p
= M ( H/ 2)+ m ( x/H )( x/ 2)
M +( mx/H )
= MH 2 + mx 2
We find the lowest position of the center of mass of the can and soda by setting the derivative of h
with respect to x equal to 0 and solving for x . The derivative is

2( MH + mx )
( MH 2 + mx 2 ) m
2( MH + mx ) 2 = m 2 x 2 +2 MmHx

The solution to m 2 x 2 +2 MmHx

The positive root is used since x must be positive. Next, we substitute the expression found for x
into h =( MH 2 + mx 2 ) / 2( MH + mx ). After some algebraic manipulation we obtain
h = HM
