Your help/advice with this would be appreciated:
A uniform solid hemisphere of weight W , radius r and centre of mass distant 3r/8 from the centre of its plane face is placed with its circular face in contact with a smooth plane inclined at ω to the horizontal. Equilibrium is maintained by a force P tangential to the curved surface and in the vertical plane containing the centre of mass and line of greatest slope of the plane. The direction of P makes an angle β with the vertical.
Thank you so much
Best wishes

- Find P in terms of W, ω and β
- If the magnitude of the reaction of the plane on the hemisphere is R, show that:
- Find the distance of the line of action of R from the centre of the circular face of the hemisphere
Thank you so much
