2. You are given that the centre of mass of a uniform solid cone of height \(h\) and base radius \(r\) is at a height of \(\frac { 1 } { 4 } h\) above its base.
The diagram shows a solid conical frustum. It is formed by taking a uniform right circular cone, of base radius \(3 x\) and height \(6 y\), and removing a smaller cone, of base radius \(x\), with the same vertex.

Show that the distance of the centre of mass of the frustum from its base along the axis of symmetry is \(\frac { 18 } { 13 } y\).
