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. (Ans. 2:11 Hint. For stable equilibrium, the centre of the body should beelow 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.
