This shaded region is rotated through 360° about the x‑axis to form a solid of revolution. This solid of revolution is used to model a solid right circular cone of height 9 cm and base radius 3 cm. The cone is non‑uniform and the mass per unit volume of the cone at the point (x, y, z) is λx kg cm–3, where 0 x 9 and λ is constant. (a) Find the distance of the centre of mass of the cone from its vertex. (6) A toy is made by joining the circular plane face of the cone to the circular plane face of a uniform solid hemisphere of radius 3 cm, so that the centres of the two plane surfaces coincide. The weight of the cone is W newtons and the weight of the hemisphere is kW newtons. When the toy is placed on a smooth horizontal plane with any point of the curved surface of the hemisphere in contact with the plane, the toy will remain at rest. (b) Find the value of k (4) _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________
