Frustum F of a cone: top diameter 24 cm, height 5 cm, with the removed smaller cone shown dashed below
Formulae: Volume of sphere = (4/3) pi r cubed; Volume of cone = (1/3) pi r squared h, with diagrams of a sphere of radius r and a cone with radius r, slant height l and height h

The diagram above shows a frustum F of a cone.
The frustum is made by removing a cone with height 10 cm from a solid cone with height 15 cm and base diameter 24 cm.

The solid S is made by removing F from a solid hemisphere as shown in the diagram below.

Hemisphere of diameter 24 cm with the frustum, depth 5 cm, removed from its flat face

The hemisphere has diameter 24 cm.

Calculate the volume of solid S.
Give your answer correct to 3 significant figures. (4)
