Homework Statement
What is the maximum angle you can rotate the cone before the scoop falls out? Assume that the scoop of ice cream acts like a perfect sphere and does not stick to the cone.
calculated already that the center of mass is located at z = 5.02
Assume that the scoop of ice cream is a sphere with radius r = 1.51in and is placed into a 4.00 in tall cone. The interior height of the cone is 3.60 in. The exterior radius of the cone is 1.25 in and the interior radius is 1.10 in.
Homework Equations
[tex]\theta[/tex] = atan (x/z) [i got this from the answers section of a similar problem]
where:
-x is something i don't know
-z is the center of mass in the z direction
The Attempt at a Solution
no clue where to start.
i looked at similar problem but they weren't much help. i don't really understand the concept of how this works.
any help would b nice
cheers,
