6. A uniform solid right circular cylinder has mass \(M\), height \(h\) and radius \(a\). Find, using integration, its moment of inertia about a diameter of one of its circular ends.
[0pt] [You may assume without proof that the moment of inertia of a uniform circular disc, of mass \(m\) and radius \(a\), about a diameter is \(\frac { 1 } { 4 } m a ^ { 2 }\).]
