The volume \( V \) of a cylinder can be calculated using the formula:

\[
V_{\text{cylinder}} = \pi r^2 h
\]

The volume \( V \) of a cone that shares the same radius \( r \) and height \( h \) can be calculated using the formula:

\[
V_{\text{cone}} = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h
\]

Since the volume of the cylinder is given as \( 60 \, \text{cm}^3 \), we know:

\[
\pi r^2 h = 60 \text{ cm}^3
\]

Now, for the cone:

\[
V_{\text{cone}} = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h = \frac{1}{3} \times 60 \text{ cm}^3 = 20 \text{ cm}^3
\]

Thus, the volume of the cone is **20 cm³**.
