24 The diagram shows a solid, S, made from a cone and a hemisphere.

Solid S: a hemisphere on top of an inverted cone with the same circular face

Diagram NOT accurately drawn

The centre of the circular face of the cone coincides with the centre of the flat surface of the hemisphere.

The radius of the circular face of the cone, \(x\) cm, is equal to the radius of the hemisphere.

The total height of S is 4 × the radius of the hemisphere.

A separate sphere has radius \(kx\) cm.
The volume of this sphere is 12.5 × the volume of S

(a) Work out the value of \(k\) (4)

A solid, T, is similar to solid S

The volume of T is 512 × the volume of S

The total surface area of T is \(d\) × the total surface area of S

(b) Find the value of \(d\) (1)
