Torus is the surface produced by revolving a circle with radius 3 around an axis in the plane of the circle that is a distance 6 from the center of the circle (so like a donut). Let
be a sphere with a radius 11. When
rests on the outside of
, it is externally tangent to
along a circle with radius
, and when
rests on the outside of
, it is externally tangent to
along a circle with radius
. The difference
can be written as
, where
and
are relatively prime positive integers. Find
.
