Question

Write the equation in spherical coordinates. (a) x2 y2 z2 = 64

Answer 1

The equation in spherical coordinates will be a constant, as we are describing a spherical shell.

r(φ, θ) = 8 units.

How to rewrite the equation in spherical coordinates?

The equation:

x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = R^2

Defines a sphere of radius R.

Then the equation:

x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 64

Defines a sphere of radius √64 = 8.

Then we will have that the radius is a constant for any given angle, then we can write r, the radius, as a constant function of θ and φ, the equation will be:

r(φ, θ) = 8 units.
