The radius of a sphere is 21 cm. Find the volume of a spherical wedge whose lune base angle is 90 degree.
------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
    A spherical wedge is a solid formed by revolving a semi-circle about its diameter by less than 360°. 

    Spherical Lune is the curve surface of the wedge, it is a surface formed by revolving a semi-circular arc 
    about its diameter by less than 360°.
