1 The finite region enclosed by the line \(y = k x\), where \(k\) is a positive constant, the \(x\)-axis for \(0 \leqslant x \leqslant h\), and the line \(x = h\) is rotated through 1 complete revolution about the \(x\)-axis. Prove by integration that the centroid of the resulting cone is at a distance \(\frac { 3 } { 4 } h\) from the origin \(O\).

[The volume of a cone of height \(h\) and base radius \(r\) is \(\frac { 1 } { 3 } \pi r ^ { 2 } h\).]
