When I try to put a ball halfway into a cone, I need to deform the bottom half a bit:
However, once I get the bottom half into the cone, from the outside it looks like this:
, I can calculate the total volume as the volume of the come plus half the volume of a sphere.
The circular base of the cone, and the sphere have a diameter of units,
so the radius is units.
The volume of a sphere of radius is .
The volume of a half of sphere of radius is .
If the radius is , that volume is

The volume of a cone of height and base radius is .
If the radius is , and the height is , that volume is
.
Adding half a sphere plus a cone, the total volume is
