A circluar hole with radius r is drilled through a sphere of radius R with the separation betweeen the centres being d as shown in the diagram below:

By considering a double integral, or otherwise, find the volume of the drilled part.
Note: If it can be proved that there's no closed form, answer in approximation form will be acceptable.

設OA= a, OE=R, AB=x=AC
By shell method, "shell" DEFG以BC切開上下兩個重新組合
得 new shell, 半徑AB=x, 高=CD+BE=√[R^2-(a+x)^2] + √[R^2-(a-x)^2]
總體積=∫[0~r] 2πx{R^2-(a+x)^2] + √[R^2-(a-x)^2]} dx
