(a) Use algebraic integration to show that the centre of mass of a uniform solid hemisphere of radius is at a distance from the centre of its plane face.
[You may assume that the volume of a sphere of radius is .]
A uniform solid hemisphere of radius is joined to a uniform solid right circular cone made of the same material to form a toy. The cone has base radius and height . The centre of the base of the cone is . The plane face of the cone coincides with the plane face of the hemisphere, as shown in Figure 3.
The toy can rest in equilibrium on a horizontal plane with any point of the curved surface of the hemisphere in contact with the plane.
(b) Find the exact value of

The normal reaction at a point on the hemispherical surface passes through . For equilibrium at any such contact point, the weight must also act through . Thus the centre of mass of the whole toy is .
The two solids have the same density . Their masses are
The hemisphere’s centre of mass is from , towards the curved surface. The cone’s centre of mass is one quarter of its height from its base, namely from , in the opposite direction.
The signed first moment about the common plane face must be zero:
Dividing by gives
Since the cone has positive height, , so
