The volume between two surfaces can be calculated by
Where is the area contained by the boundary of the volume projected onto the xy-plane.
To find we need to solve when they two surfaces meet. Solve for
on both equations and set them equal to each other.
We have
and
Notice that the bottom half of the sphere is irrelevant here because it does not intersect with the cone. The following condition is true to find the curve of intersection.
Switch to polar coordinates to simplify the problem.
The boundary of the volume is a circle of radius . Then
is
Now preform the double integral.
On the first integral, let
Integrate and substitute back in for
.
