The volume of the foam would be the volume of the cube minus the volume of the sphere...say the sphere has a radius of r, then the cube has a side of 2r...then we have
\n" ); document.write( "V(foam) = V(cube) - V(sphere)
\n" ); document.write( "V(foam) = (2r)^3 - (4/3)(pi)r^3
\n" ); document.write( "V(foam) = 8r^3 - (4/3)(pi)r^3
\n" ); document.write( "\"V%28foam%29+=+%288+-+%284%2F3%29%28pi%29%29r%5E3\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
