17 A solid cone is joined to a solid hemisphere to make the solid T shown below.

Solid T: a cone on top of a hemisphere, both with diameter 7 cm; the total height is y cm
Volume of sphere = \(\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3\)

Volume of cone = \(\dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h\)
A sphere with radius r, and a cone with base radius r, slant height l and height h

The diameter of the base of the cone is 7 cm.
The diameter of the hemisphere is 7 cm.

The total volume of T is \(120\pi\) cm3
The total height of T is \(y\) cm.

(a) Calculate the value of \(y\).
Give your answer correct to 3 significant figures. (4)

The diameter of the base of the cone and the diameter of the hemisphere are both increased by the same amount.
Assuming the total volume of T does not change,

(b) explain the effect this would have on your answer to part (a). (1)
