$\pi \times {8^2} \times 12$ (M1)

Note: Award (M1) for correct substitution into the volume of a cylinder formula.

$2410{\text{ c}}{{\text{m}}^3}{\text{ }}(2412.74 \ldots {\text{ c}}{{\text{m}}^3},{\text{ }}768\pi {\text{ c}}{{\text{m}}^3})$ (A1) (C2)

$\frac{4}{3}\pi \times {2.9^3} + 768\pi = \pi \times {8^2}h$ (M1)(M1)(M1)

Note: Award (M1) for correct substitution into the volume of a sphere formula (this may be implied by seeing 102.160…), (M1) for adding their volume of the ball to their part (a), (M1) for equating a volume to the volume of a cylinder with a height of $h$ .

$\frac{4}{3}\pi \times {2.9^3} = \pi \times {8^2}(h - 12)$ (M1)(M1)(M1)

Note: Award (M1) for correct substitution into the volume of a sphere formula (this may be implied by seeing 102.160…), (M1) for equating to the volume of a cylinder, (M1) for the height of the water level increase, $h - 12$ . Accept $h$ for $h - 12$ if adding 12 is implied by their answer.

$(h = ){\text{ }}12.5{\text{ (cm) }}\left( {12.5081 \ldots {\text{ (cm)}}} \right)$ (A1)(ft) (C4)

Note: If 3 sf answer used, answer is 12.5 (12.4944…). Follow through from part (a) if first method is used.
