12 The diagram shows a sphere and a cone.

A sphere of radius 4 cm, and a cone with vertex at the bottom, top radius 15 cm and height 30 cm, containing water to a depth of d cm

Not to scale

The sphere has radius 4 cm.
The cone has radius 15 cm and height 30 cm.

The sphere is completely filled with water.
The same amount of water is poured into the cone.

Work out the depth, \(d\) cm, of the water in the cone.
You must show your working.

[The volume \(V\) of a sphere with radius \(r\) is \(V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3\).
The volume \(V\) of a cone with radius \(r\) and height \(h\) is \(V = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h\).] [6]
