It's not very easy, because you have to compute the partial surface area, and then use a nasty density integral, calculated on the mentioned partial spherical surface (and density happens not to be constant, which will bring major havoc inside the integral). Sadly I forgot all the formulas, maybe I could help if I had my books, but they are buried somewhere and it's 3AM...

OKKAY!
