is a cylinder of radius 0.2 m and length 0.7 m, from which a hemisphere of radius 0.2 m has been
removed at one end. The point A is the centre of the plane face at the other end of the object. Find the
distance of the centre of mass of the object from A. [5]

4 A small ball is projected with speed 25 m s−1 at an angle of 30Å above the horizontal from a point O
on horizontal ground. At time t s after projection the horizontal and vertically upwards displacements
of the ball from O are x m and y m respectively.

(i) Express x and y in terms of t and hence find the equation of the trajectory of the ball. [4]
