\end{figure} A uniform solid \(S\) consists of a right solid circular cone of base radius \(r\) and a right solid cylinder, also of radius \(r\). The cone has height \(4 h\) and the centre of the plane face of the cone is \(O\). The cylinder has height \(3 h\). The cone and cylinder are joined so that the plane face of the cone coincides with one of the plane faces of the cylinder, as shown in Figure 1. Find the distance from \(O\) to the centre of mass of \(S\).
