Math 263 Assignment 6 Solutions

Problem 1. Find the volume of the solid bounded by the surfaces z = 3x2 + 3y 2 and
z = 4 x2 y 2 .
Solution. The two paraboloids intersect when 3x2 + 3y 2 = 4 x2 y 2 or x2 + y 2 = 1.
Wrting down the given volume first in Cartesian coordinates and then converting into polar
form we find that

Problem 2. Sketch the region enclosed by the curve r = b + a cos and compute its
area. Here a and b are positive constants, b > a.
Solution. The curve is a cardioid symmetric about the x-axis. The area enclosed by it is

Problem 3. A lamina occupies the region inside the circle x2 + y 2 = 2y but outside the
circle x2 + y 2 = 1. Find the center of mass if the density at any point is inversely poportional
to its distance from the origin.
Solution. The circles x2 + y 2 = 2y and x2 + y 2 = 1 may be written in polar coordinates as
r = 2 sin and r = 1 respectively. They intersect at two points, where sin = 12 , so that = 6

points.

Problem 6. Sketch the solid whose volume is given by the iterated integral

4y 2

dx dz dy.

Solution. The triple integral is the volume of E = {(x, y, z) : 0 y 2, 0 z 2 y, 0


x 4 y 2 }, the solid bounded by the three coordinate planes, the plane z = 2 y, and the
cylindrical surface x = 4 y 2 .
Problem 7. Rewrite the integral
Z

1x2

1x

f (x, y, z) dy dz dx
0

as an equivalent iterated integral in five other orders.


Solution. The projection of E onto the xy plane is the right triangle bounded by the
coordinate axes and the straight line x + y = 1. On the other hand, the projection onto
the xz plane is the region bounded by the coordinate axes and the parabola z = 1 x2 .
Therefore the given iterated integral may also be written as
Z

f (x, y, z) dy dz dx =

0

Now the surface z = 1 x2 intersects the plane y = 1 x in a curve whose projection in


the yz-plane is z = 1 (1 y)2 or z = 2y y 2 . So we must split up the projection of E on

the yz plane (which is the unit square) into two regions, whose boundary is the curve above.
The given integral is therefore also equal to
