A metal cube has side 4 m. Two rectangular pyramidal cavities, each with base \(1\text{ m}\times2\text{ m}\) and height 2 m, are removed. Use \(\pi=3.142\).

The cavities enter through opposite faces and meet only at their apex at the cube centre; their interiors do not overlap.

  1. Find the remaining volume.[2]
  2. Find its mass if density is \(5400\text{ kg/m}^3\).[2]
  3. It is recast as a solid hemisphere. Find
    1. its radius to 3 s.f.,[2]
    2. total surface area to 2 d.p.[2]
