The cost of making a hollow metal sphere with outer radius r cm is $ C. It is given that c is a sum of two parts, one part is a constant and the other part varies directly as the cube of r. When r = 2, C = 124; When r = 3, C = 181.
a) Find the cost of making a hollow metal sphere with outer radius 5 cm.
b) If the cost is $ 475 and the thickness of the sphere is 1 cm, find the volume of metal to mike this sphere.
