Double Cone Rolling up an Incline

Any mass distribution has a point referred to as the center of mass, which is the position representing the mean position of mass in the distribution. For a rigid body, the center of mass dictates the object’s response to external forces such as gravity. For example, a tube will roll down an incline since its center of mass has a lower gravitational potential energy at the bottom. In this demonstration, a double sided cone is suspended on a split incline. Since the cone’s center of mass will have a lowe
