Use polar coordinates to find the volume of the given solid
Use polar coordinates to find the volume of the given solid. Above the cone z = squareroot x^2 + y^2 and below the sphere x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 49
Solution
Solution :
Using cylindrical coordinates (with z playing the usual role of y).
z = (x2 + y2) ==> z = r
x2 + y2 + z2 = 49 ==> z = (49 - r2), since we want z > 0 (sketch the region).
Curve of intersection: (49 - r2) = r
==> 49 - r2 = r2
==> r = 7/2, a circle.
So, the volume 1 dV equals
( = 0 to 2) (r = 0 to 7/2) (y = r to (49 - r2)) 1 * (r dz dr d)
= 2 (r = 0 to 7/2) r [(49 - r2) - r] dr
= (r = 0 to 7/2) [2r(49 - r2)(1/2) - 2r2] dr
= (343*)/3)*(2-2))
