1.8: Hollow Cone

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

The surface of a hollow cone can be considered to be made up of an infinite number of infinitesimally slender isosceles triangles, and therefore the centre of mass of a hollow cone (without base) is 2/3 of the way from the vertex to the midpoint of the base.
