A uniform object is made by drilling a cylindrical hole of radius 0.2 m through the cone along the axis of symmetry (see diagram).
  1. Show that the height of the object is 0.72 m and that the volume of the cone removed by the drilling is \(0.0352 \pi \mathrm {~m} ^ { 3 }\).
    [0pt] [The volume of a cone is \(\frac { 1 } { 3 } \pi r ^ { 2 } h\).]
  2. Find the distance of the centre of mass of the object from its base.
