A cylindrical vessel is completely filled with milk. The contents of this vessel are poured into a conical container of the same height and base radius as that of the cylinder, until it is completely full. The cylinder is then filled with water until it is completely full. The contents of both the vessels are then emptied into a third vessel. When 42L of water is further added to this vessel, the ratio of milk and water becomes 2: 3. Find the volume of the conical vessel.
