For a solid cone of base radius , height and density , take so the axis singularity, if present, is integrable. In cylindrical coordinates, at fixed radius the vertical range is . Integrating over height first givesThe first height moment is . Dividing proves . Thus uniform density has centroid , while density proportional to radius has centroid . For sums of such density components, total masses and first moments add, giving a mass-weighted centroid.
