We will find the required volume indirectly by first finding the volume of the cube that lies outside the sphere. This is the volume of the 8 red corners protruding outside the sphere. Let's find the volume of one of these corners.
Define θ 0 = cos − 1 ( 2 R a ) , and ϕ 1 = sin − 1 ( cot θ 0 ) , then it was shown in the solution of this recent problem that the yellow-shaded area of the corner of the sphere is given by
Yellow Area = A 1 = 6 R 2 ( cos θ 0 ( ϕ 1 − 4 π ) + sin − 1 ( cos ϕ 1 / 2 ) − 6 π )
And it is straight forward to show that the green-shaded area on the face of the cube outside the sphere is given by
Green Area = A 2 = 2 a ( 2 a − r 0 sin t 0 ) − 2 1 r 0 2 ( 2 π − 2 t 0 )
where r 0 = R sin θ 0 and t 0 = cos − 1 ( 2 r 0 a ) .
Using the yellow and green areas as found above, we can find the volume of the corners of the cube protruding outside the sphere as,
V 1 = 8 ( 3 1 ) ( − R A 1 + 3 ( 2 a ) A 2 )
Plugging in the given values and evaluating the above formulas, we find that V 1 = 1 2 . 4 0 9 8 0 5 3 3
It follows that the volume of the cube that is inside the sphere (i.e. common with the sphere) is
V 2 = a 3 − V 1 = 1 0 0 0 − V 1 = 9 8 7 . 5 9 0 1 9 4 7
And finally from V 2 , we get the volume of the sphere that is outside the cube as,
V 3 = 3 4 π R 3 − V 2 = 7 7 9 . 5 5 5 6 7 3
which makes the answer ⌊ 1 0 0 0 V 3 ⌋ = 7 7 9 5 5 5
