Great Pyramid of Cheops (Center of Mass Problem) - Physics Forums The Great Pyramid of Cheops at El Gizeh, Egypt, had a height H = 148 6 m before its topmost stone fell Its base is a square with edge length L = 227 4 m Its volume V is equal (L^2)H 3 Assuming that it has uniform density p (rho) = 1 8e3 kg m^3 (a) What is the original height of its center of mass above the base?
The height of the pyramid of Cheops - Physics Forums The discussion centers on the mathematical ratios associated with the height and base of the Cheops Pyramid, specifically comparing the ratio derived from the formula 2 π (approximately 0 6366) to the ratio derived from the golden ratio (approximately 0 6180) Participants express skepticism about the accuracy of these calculations, citing potential issues with the historical measurement
What is the center of mass of a pyramid? • Physics Forums The discussion focuses on finding the center of mass of a pyramid, specifically using the Great Pyramid of Cheops as an example Participants explore methods for calculating the center of mass, including integrating over the pyramid's volume and using cross-sectional areas There is confusion regarding the limits of integration and the correct approach to set up the equations, with some
