Assuming the mass is evenly distributed around the cylinder's surface, you simply find the midway points between its three axes of symmetry. The midway point of the cylinder on the x-y plane is the center of the circle projected onto it and its midway point on the z-axis is half of the cylinder's height. Therefore, the center of mass of a hollow, evenly-distributed cylinder is at the center of the circle that divides the cylinder's height in two.

Can a cylinder balance on top of a prism?
yes when you place it on the prism at its center of gravity or center of mass
Where is center of mass of a sphere?
The center of mass of a sphere is its geometric center.
What is the center of mass of an equilateral triangle?
Center of mass of an equilateral triangle is located at its geometric center (centroid).
What is the formula for finding the mass of a cylinder?
The formula for finding area or mass of a cylinder is pi x radius^2density=massxvolume
What is calculated by dividing the mass of an object by its volume?
The mass density, rho.
Moment of inertia of hollow cylinder?
The moment of inertia of a hollow cylinder can be calculated with the help of the formula, I=0.5xMxRxR. Here I is inertia, M is mass and R is the radius.
How do you calculate the mass of a hollow tube?
mass of cylinder (o.d.) minus mass of cylinder (i.d.)
Can centre of mass of a body can exist at point where there is no mass of the object?
Yes. For example, the center of mass of a hollow sphere would be at the empty center of that sphere.
What is the center of mass of a solid cylinder?
It's on the cylinder's axis, halfway between the cylinder's ends.
What is the center of mass of a cone?
Center of mass of hollow cone is H/3 distance above its base and that of solid cone is 3H/10 distance above its base.
How is a hollow cylinder stronger than a solid cylinder when both have the same mass and length?
if they are short or in tension they are the same, when they bend the hollow tube has a bigger second moment of area and so is stronger to any bending moment
What determines the atomicity of the elements?
The Atomic Mass number tells the atomic mass of an element. The mass is calculated as the mass of all the protons and neutrons in the center of an atom.
Can a cylinder balance on top of a prism?
yes when you place it on the prism at its center of gravity or center of mass
How do you calculate weight of hollow cylinder?
In order to Calculate the weight of a hollow cylinder, you need to find out the density of the material of the cylinder first. once you have that, you can use the formulas below Find out volume of material as follows: Volume = Pi * (Outer Diameter of Cylinder)2/4 - Pi * (Inner Diameter of Cylinder)2/4 Mass = Density * Volume( from above equation) Note: Remember that units of Density and volume should be matching.
Why can't we lift a cylinder of 14 kgsbut why can we lift a person of 45kgs?
While lifting a person, the person's center of mass is above our feet and the weight is distributed through shoulders, thorax and abdomen whereas while lifting a cylinder the weight is distributed only through both hands and the center of mass of the cylinder is below the body! Hence it is difficult to lift a cylinder than a person!
What is the mass of a copper cylinder that's 12.5 mm?
This question cannot be answered because not enough information is provided. It isn't indicated whether 12.5 mm is the length or the diameter and, in either case, the other dimension is missing. In addition, it isn't indicated whether or not the cylinder is solid or hollow and, if hollow, what the wall thickness is.
What is the mass of a hollow cylinder with outer dia 18.5 mm and inner dia 16mm and density 1.2grams per cubic centimeter?
this question cannot be answered without a specified length
