2 A uniform solid object is made by attaching a cone to a cylinder so that the circumferences of the base of the cone and a plane face of the cylinder coincide. The cone and the cylinder each have radius 0.3 m and height 0.4 m .
- Calculate the distance of the centre of mass of the object from the vertex of the cone.
[0pt]
[The volume of a cone is \(\frac { 1 } { 3 } \pi r ^ { 2 } h\).]
The object has weight \(W \mathrm {~N}\) and is placed with its plane circular face on a rough horizontal surface. A force of magnitude \(k W \mathrm {~N}\) acting at \(30 ^ { \circ }\) to the upward vertical is applied to the vertex of the cone. The object does not slip. - Find the greatest possible value of \(k\) for which the object does not topple.
