Question
Jenny has a circular cylinder with a lid. The cylinder has height 39 cm and diameter 65 mm.
An old tower (BT) leans at 10° away from the vertical (represented by line TG).
The base of the tower is at B so that \({\text{M}}\hat {\rm B}{\text{T}} = 100^\circ \).
Leonardo stands at L on flat ground 120 m away from B in the direction of the lean.
He measures the angle between the ground and the top of the tower T to be \({\text{B}}\hat {\rm L}{\text{T}} = 26.5^\circ \).
i.a.Calculate the volume of the cylinder in cm3. Give your answer correct to two decimal places.[3]
i.b.The cylinder is used for storing tennis balls. Each ball has a radius of 3.25 cm.
Calculate how many balls Jenny can fit in the cylinder if it is filled to the top.[1]
i.c.(i) Jenny fills the cylinder with the number of balls found in part (b) and puts the lid on. Calculate the volume of air inside the cylinder in the spaces between the tennis balls.
(ii) Convert your answer to (c) (i) into cubic metres.[4]
ii.a.(i) Find the value of angle \({\text{B}}\hat {\rm T}{\text{L}}\).
(ii) Use triangle BTL to calculate the sloping distance BT from the base, B to the top, T of the tower.[5]
ii.b.Calculate the vertical height TG of the top of the tower.[2]
ii.c.Leonardo now walks to point M, a distance 200 m from B on the opposite side of the tower. Calculate the distance from M to the top of the tower at T.[3]

Award (M1) for either sum formula seen, even without substitution.
So sum is \(\frac{1}{2}n(2 + (n – 1)) = \frac{1}{2}n(n + 1)\) (A1)(AG)
Award (A1) for substitution of \({u_1} = 1 = d\) or \({u_1} = 1\) and \({u_n} = n\) with simplification where appropriate. \(\frac{1}{2}n(n + 1)\) must be seen to award this (A1).[2 marks]
\(\frac{1}{2}(200)(201) = 20 100\) (M1)(A1)(G2)
