Let dv be a infinitely small volume element of a sphere. Now we know in Spherical Polar Coordinate dv=r^2 sin(Z) dr dZ dP where Z is the radial angle and P is the cross radial angle. Now as per problem the radius is limited in a i.e., 0<= r <= a , 0<= Z <= Pi , 0<=P<= 2pi.
Now Volume = Triple Integration of dv with the limit mentioned above = Integration (over limit o to a ) r^2 dr integration (over 0 to pi) sin(z) integration (0 to 2 pi) dP
=> Volume = (a^3/3)*2*2pi = 4/3 pi a*a*a
**For this solution you need to have a working knowledge of Multivariable calculus.
