13. Figure 2 shows a vessel which is held vertically. The vessel consists of two parts: the
upper part is a right circular cylinder of base radius 12 cm and the lower part is a right
circular frustum. The frustum is made by cutting off the upper part of an right circular
cone of base radius 32 cm and height 24 cm. The height of the vessel is 60 cm.
