I want to calculate volume of intersection of a sphere and cylinder but they are not concentric. Sphere has a radius of 1 and located at (0,0,R+h). Cylinder has a radius of R and centered at origin. I know there is some way to use integration but don't know how to proceed.

  • Giving us the center and radius of your cylinder does not specify it uniquely. Which way is it oriented?

  • My mistake. The cylinder has the equation x^2+z^2=R^2
