A uniform solid cone has height 20 cm and base radius \(4 \mathrm {~cm} . P Q\) is a diameter of the base of the cone. The cone is held in equilibrium, with \(P\) in contact with a horizontal surface and \(P Q\) vertical, by a force applied at \(Q\). This force has magnitude 3 N and acts parallel to the axis of the cone (see diagram). Calculate the mass of the cone.
