8 The finite region enclosed by the line \(y = k x\), the \(x\)-axis and the line \(x = 5\) is rotated through \(360 ^ { \circ }\) around the \(x\) axis to form a solid cone. 8
    1. Use integration to show that the position of the centre of mass of the cone is independent of \(k\)
      8
  1. (ii) State the distance between the base of the cone and its centre of mass.
    8
  2. State one assumption that you have made about the cone. 8
  3. The plane face of the cone is placed on a rough inclined plane.
    The coefficient of friction between the cone and the plane is 0.8
    The angle between the plane and the horizontal is gradually increased from \(0 ^ { \circ }\) Find the range of values of \(k\) for which the cone slides before it topples.
