  1. In this question you must show all stages of your working.
Solutions relying entirely on calculator technology are not acceptable. \begin{figure}[h]

\end{figure} John picked 100 berries from a plant.
The largest berry picked was approximately 2.8 cm long.
The shape of this berry is modelled by rotating the curve with equation $$16 x ^ { 2 } + 3 y ^ { 2 } - y \cos \left( \frac { 5 } { 2 } y \right) = 6 \quad x \geqslant 0$$ shown in Figure 2, about the \(y\)-axis through \(2 \pi\) radians, where the units are cm .
Given that the \(y\) intercepts of the curve are - 1.545 and 1.257 to four significant figures,
  1. use algebraic integration to determine, according to the model, the volume of this berry. Given that the 100 berries John picked were then squeezed for juice,
  2. use your answer to part (a) to decide whether, in reality, there is likely to be enough juice to fill a \(200 \mathrm {~cm} ^ { 3 }\) cup, giving a reason for your answer.
