O r 4 3 r Figure 3 A uniform solid cylinder of base radius r and height 4 3 r has the same density as a uniform solid hemisphere of radius r. The plane face of the hemisphere is joined to a plane face of the cylinder to form the composite solid S shown in Figure 3. The point O is the centre of the plane face of S. (a) Show that the distance from O to the centre of mass of S is 73 72 r (4) The solid S is placed with its plane face on a rough horizontal plane. The coefficient of friction between S and the plane is μ. A horizontal force P is applied to the highest point of S. The magnitude of P is gradually increased. (b) Find the range of values of μ for which S will slide before it starts to tilt.
