A spherical gas reservoir has a circumference of 10 ft. This reservoir is to be holed 3 feet below the ground. If the circumference of the cylindrical hole into which the reservoir is to be placed is 10 inches longer than the circumference of the reservoir, then what is the thickness of the thinnest space separating the reservoir and the wall of the cylindrical hole?
