2 The region \(R\) is bounded by the curve \(y = \sqrt { 4 a ^ { 2 } - x ^ { 2 } }\) for \(0 \leqslant x \leqslant a\), the \(x\)-axis, the \(y\)-axis and the line \(x = a\), where \(a\) is a positive constant. The region \(R\) is rotated through \(2 \pi\) radians about the \(x\)-axis to form a uniform solid of revolution. Find the \(x\)-coordinate of the centre of mass of this solid.
