The remaining volume is #=(590pi)/3#

The volume of an ellipsoid is #=(4piabc)/3#

The volume of a hemisphere is #=(2pir^3)/3#

The remaining volume is #=(4piabc)/3-(2pir^3)/3#

#=((2pi)/3)(2abc-r^3)#

Here,

#a=5#

#b=6#

#c=7#

#r=5#

Therefore, the remaining volume is

#=((2pi)/3)(2*5*6*7-5^3)#

#=(10pi)/3(84-25)#

#=(590pi)/3#
