5. (a) Show, by integration, that the centre of mass of a uniform solid hemisphere of radius \(r\) is at a distance of \(\frac { 3 r } { 8 }\) from the plane face.
(b) The diagram shows a composite solid body which consists of a uniform right circular cylinder capped by a uniform hemisphere. The total height of the solid is \(3 r \mathrm {~cm}\), where \(r\) represents the common radius of the hemisphere and the cylinder.

Given that the density of the hemisphere is \(50 \%\) more than that of the cylinder, find the distance of the centre of mass of the solid from its base along the axis of symmetry.
