The diagram below shows a sphere through which a cylindrical hole has been drilled straight through its centre (top to bottom).
After drilling, the measured distance shown is 6 inches; what is the volume of material remaining in the sphere?
For clarification, the 6 inch distance is the distance over which the full diameter of the drill was cutting the sphere material – with the ‘north’ & ‘south’ pole domes removed in the drilling process. The diagram below is for clarification of the question, no dimension other than the 6 inches can be inferred from the diagram.
This is not a trick question, there is sufficient information given above to answer the question.
