The volume of the remaining ellipsoid is 284.83 cunic unit.

Explanation:

The radii of the ellipsoid are r1=3,r2=3,r3=8 units

The volume of the ellipsoid is V=4πr1r2r33 or

V=4π3383=301.59 cubic unit.

The radii of the removed hemisphere r=2 unit

The volume of the removed hemisphere Vh=2πr33 or

Vh=2π233=16.76 cubic unit.

The volume of the remaining ellipsoid is Ve=VVh or

Ve=301.5916.76=284.83 cunic unit [Ans]
