A solid cylinder has base radius \(R\) cm and height \(h\) cm. It is placed inside a hollow sphere with centre \(O\) and radius \(r\) cm so that the circular edge of each end of the cylinder touches the inner surface of the sphere, and the axis of the cylinder passes through \(O\).
The point \(M\) is the centre of the top face of the cylinder, and \(A\) is a point on the edge of that face, so that \(A\hat{O}M=\theta\), where \(0<\theta<\frac{\pi}{2}\). This arrangement is shown in the diagram below.
It is now given that \(S=\frac75\pi r^2\).
Let the volume of the cylinder be \(V\text{ cm}^3\).
