\end{figure} The shaded region \(R\) is bounded by the curve with equation \(y = 9 - x ^ { 2 }\), the positive \(x\)-axis and the positive \(y\)-axis, as shown in Figure 1. A uniform solid \(S\) is formed by rotating \(R\) through \(360 ^ { \circ }\) about the \(x\)-axis. Find the \(x\)-coordinate of the centre of mass of \(S\).
