Napkin ring problem

In geometry, the napkin-ring problem involves finding the volume of a "band" of specified height around a sphere, i.e. the part that remains after a hole in the shape of a circular cylinder is drilled through the center of the sphere. It is a counterintuitive fact that this volume does not depend on the original sphere's radius but only on the resulting band's height. The problem is so called because after removing a cylinder from the sphere, the remaining band resembles the shape of a napkin ring. (Wikipedia).

Paradoxes are seemingly absurd notions that by some means end up being truth. The napkin ring paradox is just that. It uses simple geometry to prove that a ring made from an orange, or any size sphere for that matter, and one made from the earth have the exact same internal volume. Prepare
