Quiz 6

This document contains instructions and solutions for two problems from quiz 6 in MA 261. Problem 1 asks the student to find the volume of a solid bounded by a cylinder, plane, and another plane using a triple integral. The solution sets up the integral and evaluates it to get the volume as 8/15. Problem 2 asks the student to set up but not evaluate the integral of x over a solid bounded by a cone and sphere using cylindrical and spherical coordinates. The solution sets up both integrals, identifying the bounds of integration in each coordinate system.

Instructions. Show all work, with clear logical steps. No work or hard-to-
follow work will lose points.
Problem 1. Use a triple integral to find the volume of the solid enclosed by
the cylinder y = x2 and the planes z = 0 and y + z = 1.

Solution. The region is plotted below.

Here E = {(x, y, z) | 0 ≤ z ≤ 1 − y, x2 ≤ y ≤ 1, −1 ≤ x ≤ 1}. So

Problem 2. Set up the integral E
xdV ,where E is the solid above cone
z 2 = x2 +y 2 and below the sphere x2 +y 2 +z 2 = 1 using cylindrical coordinates.
(Do not compute the integral.)
Solution. It helps to have a picture in mind.

To use cylindrical coordinates,


p pthat 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π. Now z ranges from the
notice
cone to the sphere, so √x2 + y 2 ≤ z ≤ 1 − x2 − y 2 . In cylindrical coordinates,
this becomes r ≤ z ≤ 1 − r2 . To find the bounds for r, we need to find the
equation of that yellow circle of intersection. This occurs when z 2 = x2 + y 2
and x2 + y 2 + z 2 = 1.√That is, 2(x2 + y 2 ) = 1. So r2 = 1/2, and the bounds for
r become 0 ≤ r ≤ 1/ 2. So the integral becomes
√ √
ZZZ Z 2π Z 1/ 2 Z 1−r 2
x dV = r2 cos θ dzdrdθ
E 0 0 r

Notice that we could also do this in spherical coordinates: It’s easy to tell
that 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π and 0 ≤ ρ ≤ 1. Since we arepabove the cone and below the
sphere, 0 ≤ φ ≤ π/4. (Recall that the cone z = x2 + y 2 is φ = π/4 in spherical
coordinates.) So the integral becomes
ZZZ Z 2π Z π/4 Z 1
x dV = ρ sin φ cos θ · ρ2 sin φ dρdφdθ
E 0 0 0
Z 2π Z π/4 Z 1
= ρ3 sin φ cos θ sin φ dρdφdθ
0 0 0
