A ball of radius 16 has a round hole of radius 7 drilled through its center. Find the volume of the resulting?

The hole in the center will be a cylinder the volume of which you will need to subtract from the volume of the sphere. This will not be exact however as the cylinder has flat ends whereas the piece removed from the sphere had a slight curve to them.
