Let the density be and set . The original cone has mass , the removed cone has mass , and the remaining solid has mass .
The centre of mass of a uniform solid cone lies one quarter of its height from its base. Therefore the distances of the two centres of mass from are
for the original and removed cones respectively.
Let be the distance of the centre of mass of from . Taking first moments, with the removed mass subtracted,
Cancelling and multiplying by gives
Factorising the right-hand side,
Since , . Consequently

轴水平、两绳竖直,因此力矩的力臂是沿轴的水平距离。以质心取矩可直接消去重力,第二根绳虽在圆周上,但其水平作用线位置仍在底面处。
