Consider two circles $C_1: x^2+y^2=25$ and $C_2: (x-\alpha)^2+y^2=16$,where $\alpha \in (5, 9)$. Let the angle between the two radii (one to each circle) drawn from one of the intersection points of $C_1$ and $C_2$ be $\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{63}}{8}\right)$. If the length of the common chord of $C_1$ and $C_2$ is $\beta$,then the value of $(\alpha \beta)^2$ equals:
