Spherical Ring

Definition

A spherical ring is a solid sphere that contains a cylindrical hole. It is bounded on the outside by a symmetrical spherical layer and on the inside by the lateral surface of a straight circular cylinder.

The volume only depends on the height L of the sphere ring and not from the sphere radius R. This is plausible because the spherical ring becomes thinner as the spherical radius increases.
