A spherical glass vessel has a cylindrical neck $8\ cm$ long, $2\ cm$ in diameter the diameter of the spherical part is $8.5\ cm$. By measuring the amount of water it holds, a child finds its volume to be $345\ cm^3$. Check whether she is correct, taking the above as the inside measurements and $\pi $ $= 3.14$.

Q 193 Marks Question3 Marks
Rachel, an engineering student, was asked to make a model shaped like a cylinder with two cones attached at its two ends by using a thin aluminium sheet. The diameter of the model is $3 \ cm$ and its length is $12 \ cm$. If each cone has a height of $2 \ cm$, find the volume of air contained in the model that Rachel made. (Assume the outer and inner dimensions of the model to be nearly the same).
