Thể tích cần tìm là:

\(V = \pi \int\limits_{R - h}^R {\left( {{R^2} - {x^2}} \right)dx} \)\( = \pi \left. {\left( {{R^2}x - \frac{{{x^3}}}{3}} \right)} \right|_{R - h}^R\)

\( = \pi \left( {{R^3} - \frac{{{R^3}}}{3} - {R^2}\left( {R - h} \right) + \frac{{{{\left( {R - h} \right)}^3}}}{3}} \right)\)\( = \pi \left( {{R^3} - \frac{{{R^3}}}{3} - {R^3} + {R^2}h + \frac{{{R^3}}}{3} - {R^2}h + R{h^2} - \frac{{{h^3}}}{3}} \right)\)

\( = \pi \left( {R{h^2} - \frac{{{h^3}}}{3}} \right)\)\( = \pi {h^2}\left( {R - \frac{h}{3}} \right)\).
