A solid consists of a cylinder and a hemisphere of equal radius fixed base to base. Find the ratio of the radius to the height of the cylinder, so that the solid has its centre of gravity at the common face. Hint. For stable equilibrium, the centre of the body should be below the common face or maximum lie on it. So take the centre of gravity of the body at a distance (a) from the bottom of the hemisphere.
