Question

Let W be part of the solid sphere of radius 4, centered at the origin, that lies above the plane z = 2. Set up an integral in cylindrical coordinates to find the volume of the region. Do NOT actually integrate.

Answer 1

Answer:

V = ∫∫∫rdrdθdz integrating from z = 2 to z = 4, r = 0 to √(16 - z²) and θ = 0 to 2π

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have the radius of the sphere R = 4, we have R² = r² + z² where r = radius of cylinder in z-plane and z = height² of cylinder.

So, r = √(R² - z²)

r = √(4² - z²)

r = √(16 - z²)

Since the region is above the plane z = 2, we integrate z from z = 2 to z = R = 4

Our volume integral in cylindrical coordinates is thus

V = ∫∫∫rdrdθdz integrating from z = 2 to z = 4, r = 0 to √(16 - z²) and θ = 0 to 2π
