A cylindrical hole of radius rr is bored through a cylinder of radiues RR ( r≤Rr\leq R ) so that the axes intersect at right angles. i) Show that the area of the larger cylinder which is inside the smaller one can be expressed in the form S=8r2∫011−v2(1−v2)(1−m2v2)dv,  where  m=rR.S=8r^2\int_{0}^{1} \frac{1-v^{2}}{\sqrt{(1-v^2)(1-m^2 v^2)}} dv,\; \text{where} \; m=\frac{r}{R}. ii) If K=∫011(1−v2)(1−m2v2)dvK=\int_{0}^{1} \frac{1}{\sqrt{(1-v^2)(1-m^2 v^2)}} dv and E=∫011−m2v21−v2dvE=\int_{0}^{1} \sqrt{\frac{1-m^2 v^2}{1-v^2 }}dv . show that S=8[R2E−(R2−r2)K].S=8[R^2 E - (R^2 - r^2 )K].
