Define the circle w with cartesian  equation x^2 +(y−r_1 )^2 =r_2 ^2  where r_1 >r_2 >0.  ⇒y=r_1 ±(√(r_2 ^2 −x^2 ))  {∣x∣≤r_2 }.  The problem given can be viewed as finding  the volume V of the figure generated  when a part of w, whose y coordinates  satisfy 0<y≤r_1 , is rotated 2π radians  about the x−axis.  ∴ y=r_1 −(√(r_2 ^2 −x^2 ))    {∣x∣≤r_2 }.  Using V=π∫_(−r_2 ) ^( r_2 ) y^2 dx we get  V=2π∫_0 ^r_2  (r_1 −(√(r_2 ^2 −x^2 )))^2 dx   {y^2  is even}.  V=2π∫_0 ^r_2  {r_1 ^2 +r_2 ^2 −x^2 −2r_1 (√(r_2 ^2 −x^2 ))}dx  Let x=r_2 sinθ  0≤θ≤2π.⇒dx=r_2 cosθdθ.  At x=0,θ=0 and at x=r_2 , θ=(π/2).  ∴V=2πr_2 ∫_0 ^(π/2) {r_1 ^2 +r_2 ^2 −r_2 ^2 sin^2 θ−2r_1 (√(r_2 ^2 −r_2 ^2 sin^2 θ))}cosθdθ  V=2πr_2 [∫_0 ^(π/2) (r_1 ^2 +r_2 ^2 )cosθ dθ−r_2 ^2 ∫_0 ^(π/2) sin^2 θcosθdθ−2r_1 r_2 ∫_0 ^(π/2) cos^2 θdθ]  V=2πr_2 [r_1 ^2 +r_2 ^2 −{((r_2 ^2 u^3 )/3)}_0 ^1 −r_1 r_2 ∫_0 ^(π/2) (1+cos2θ)dθ]  V=2πr_2 [r_1 ^2 +r_2 ^2 −(r_2 ^2 /3)−r_1 r_2 {θ+(1/2)sin2θ}_0 ^(π/2) ]  V=2πr_2 [r_1 ^2 +(2/3)r_2 ^2 −((r_1 r_2 π)/2)]  V=((πr_2 )/3)[6r_1 ^2 +4r_2 ^2 −3πr_1 r_2 ]  V=((2πr_2 )/3)(3r_1 ^2 +2r_2 ^2 )−π^2 r_1 r_2 ^2   V=2πr_1 ^2 r_2 +((4πr_2 ^3 )/3)−π^2 r_2 ^2 r_1   −−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−  By Pappus−Guldin theorem,                       V=2πAy^�      where A=area bounded between   y=r_1 −(√(r_2 ^2 −x^2 )), lines y=0, x=±r_2   and y^� =distance of centroid of A from  axis of rotation (y=0).  ∴ y^� =(V/(2πA)).  It can be shown that A=((r_2 (4r_1 −πr_2 ))/2).  ∴ y^� =((((πr_2 )/3)(6r_1 ^2 +4r_2 ^2 −3πr_1 r_2 ))/(2π((r_2 (4r_1 −πr_2 ))/2)))  or y^� =((6r_1 ^2 +4r_2 ^2 −3πr_1 r_2 )/(3(4r_1 −πr_2 )))

THANKS! I am trying to understand. At the moment   I am not much involved in analytic approach.

The volume you seek can be found  by rotating the lower section of the   circle x^2 +(y−r_1 )^2 =r_2 ^2    360° about  the x−axis. I have used full ink to  show the lower section and the upper  section is in broken ink.

THαnkS Again! The graph and the comment  is great help in understanding your answer!  I had another idea:       Volume of cylinder−semi-circle gape around         Semi-circle gape=((πr_2 ^( 2) )/2)×circumference.  I was in confusion which circle-circumference  should be used. Circle with radius r_(1 ) or circle  with radius r_1 −r_2  or average of the both.  Perhaps I am not successful to clear my idea.

−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−  Centroid of semicircular area is ((4r_2 )/(3π)) from the center of straight edge.  ∴ Required distance=(r_1 −r_2 )+(r_2 −((4r_2 )/(3π)))=r_1 −((4r_2 )/(3π))  Circumference=2π(r_1 −((4r_2 )/(3π)))=2πr_1 −((8r_2 )/3)=c  volume=((πr_2 ^2 )/2)(2πr_1 −((8r_2 )/3))=π^2 r_1 r_2 ^2 −((4πr_2 ^3 )/3)  ⇒Required volume=2πr_1 ^2 r_2 −c=2πr_1 ^2 r_2 +((4πr_2 ^3 )/3)−π^2 r_1 r_2 ^2   as was found.
