Homework Statement


bounded by x^2+y^2=r^2 and y^2 +z^2=r^2
i guess r is just a random constant

The Attempt at a Solution


i don't even have a clue of how to start this question

I have posted a "freehand" picture to get you started. The picture shows the intersection of the cylinders in the first octant so it represents 1/8th of the volume. You will want to use a yz integral. I have oriented it so to make it "easier" to see.

[EDIT] Corrected mis-labeling of axes, use an xz integral

Actually that illustration is for x2+y2=r2 and x2+z2=r2.

Not a huge deal though, since it gives the same numerical answer either way. Just rotate the axis labels one place in the clockwise direction and use an xz integral.
