Hello all,
I am doing homework and have come upon this question:
A cylindrical hole is drilled all the way through the center of a sphere (as shown in the figure below). Show that the volume of the remaining solid depends only on the length L of the hole, not on the size of the sphere.
Figure:
I think the problem should be solved using cylindrical shells, but I'm not sure how I should start it. Can anyone give me a hint?
Thanks
