12.The volume of a cup of height h cut off from a sphere of radius r (by a plane at a distance r h from
the center ) is the sum of two parts , one of which varies as the square of h and the other of which varies
as the cube of h . Use the formulas for the volumes of a hemisphere and a sphere (i.e. the volume of the
cap when h=r and when h=2r) to find a formula for the volume V of the cap in terms of h, r [10]
