in line with Andrew's approach (but you don't have to explicitly get the volume of the caps): centering the sphere at the origin and the cylinder on the z-axis, note that material left remains where |z| <= √(72 - 22) = √45, and we are just removing the cylinder of volume 2 * √45 * 22π = 8√45 π = 24√5 π, and the cross-section at z has radius √(72 - z2), so area π(49 - z2), so we have I[-√45,√45]π(49 - z2) dz
I leave it to you to calculate the integral and then do the subtraction; make use of the fact that √45 = 3√5
I believe our final answer will be 180√5 π.
