The diagram shows a solid cone that is cut into two sections, \(P\) and \(Q\), such that section \(P\) is a cone similar to the original cone.
The curved surface area of cone \(P\) is \(90\) cm\({}^2\), and the curved surface area of the original cone is \(160\) cm\({}^2\).

For the mass calculation, assume that the original cone has uniform density, so both sections have the same density.
