Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE) = 9.8m/s² (rate of gravity) x 8,000,000kg of water x 50.0m

GPE = 3,294,000,000 Joules (J) which is also the change in GPE

An abstract sculpture consists of a ball (radius R = 76 cm) resting on top of a cube (each side L = 200 cm long). The ball and t
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

132.9 cm

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Radius of the basll = 76 cm = 0.76 m

Side of the box = 200 cm = 2 m

Density of the ball and cube are equal

let the density be 'D'

Now,

Mass of ball, M = Volume × Density

= \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3  × D

= \frac{4}{3}\pi (0.76)^3× D

= 1.838D

Mass of cube, m = L³ × D

= 2³ × D

= 8D

Thus,

center of mass, y = [ My₁ + my₂ ] ÷ [M + m]

here,

y₁ = center of mass of ball with respect to floor

as the center mass of sphere lies at the center of the sphere

= Length of cube + radius of sphere

= 2 + 0.76

= 2.76 m

y₂ = Center of mass of cube = \frac{L}{2}=\frac{2}{2} = 1 m

Thus,

y = [ ( 1.838D × 2.76 ) + (8D × 1 ) ] ÷ [1.838D + 8D]

= 13.07288D ÷ 9.838D

= 1.329 m

or

= 132.9 cm
