Triple Integrals in Cylindrical and Spherical Coordinates

Evaluate a triple integral by changing to cylindrical coordinates.

Integration in Cylindrical Coordinates

Triple integrals can often be more readily evaluated by using cylindrical coordinates instead of rectangular coordinates. Some common equations of surfaces in rectangular coordinates along with corresponding equations in cylindrical coordinates are listed in . These equations will become handy as we proceed with solving problems using triple integrals.

Cylindrical\(r=c\)\(z=cr\)\({r}^{2}+{z}^{2}={c}^{2}\)\(z=c{r}^{2}\)

As before, we start with the simplest bounded region \(B\) in \({ℝ}^{3},\) to describe in cylindrical coordinates, in the form of a cylindrical box, \(B=\{(r,\theta ,z)|a\le r\le b,\alpha \le \theta \le \beta ,c\le z\le d\}\) (). Suppose we divide each interval into \(l,m\ \text{and}\ n\) subdivisions such that \(\text{\Delta }r=\frac{b-a}{l},\text{\Delta }\theta =\frac{\beta -\alpha }{m},\) and \(\text{\Delta }z=\frac{d-c}{n}.\) Then we can state the following definition for a triple integral in cylindrical coordinates.

Note that if \(g(x,y,z)\) is the function in rectangular coordinates and the box \(B\) is expressed in rectangular coordinates, then the triple integral \(\underset{B}{∭}g(x,y,z)dV\) is equal to the triple integral \(\underset{B}{∭}g(r\ \text{cos}\ \theta ,r\ \text{sin}\ \theta ,z)r\ dr\ d\theta \ dz\) and we have

\[\underset{B}{∭}g(x,y,z)dV=\underset{B}{∭}g(r\ \text{cos}\ \theta ,r\ \text{sin}\ \theta ,z)r\ dr\ d\theta \ dz=\underset{B}{∭}f(r,\theta ,z)r\ dr\ d\theta \ dz.\]

As mentioned in the preceding section, all the properties of a double integral work well in triple integrals, whether in rectangular coordinates or cylindrical coordinates. They also hold for iterated integrals. To reiterate, in cylindrical coordinates, Fubini’s theorem takes the following form:

Integration in Spherical Coordinates

We now establish a triple integral in the spherical coordinate system, as we did before in the cylindrical coordinate system. Let the function \(f(\rho ,\theta ,\phi )\) be continuous in a bounded spherical box, \(B=\{(\rho ,\theta ,\phi )|a\le \rho \le b,\alpha \le \theta \le \beta ,\gamma \le \phi \le ψ\}.\) We then divide each interval into \(l,m\ \text{and}\ n\) subdivisions such that \(\text{\Delta }\rho =\frac{b-a}{l},\text{\Delta }\theta =\frac{\beta -\alpha }{m},\text{\Delta }\phi =\frac{ψ-\gamma }{n}.\)

Now we can illustrate the following theorem for triple integrals in spherical coordinates with \(({\rho }_{ijk}^{*},{\theta }_{ijk}^{*},{\phi }_{ijk}^{*})\) being any sample point in the spherical subbox \({B}_{ijk}.\) For the volume element of the subbox \(\text{\Delta }V\) in spherical coordinates, we have \(\text{\Delta }V=(\text{\Delta }\rho )(\rho \text{\Delta }\phi )(\rho \ \text{sin}\ \phi \text{\Delta }\theta ),,\) as shown in the following figure.

As with the other multiple integrals we have examined, all the properties work similarly for a triple integral in the spherical coordinate system, and so do the iterated integrals. Fubini’s theorem takes the following form.

As stated before, spherical coordinate systems work well for solids that are symmetric around a point, such as spheres and cones. Let us look at some examples before we consider triple integrals in spherical coordinates on general spherical regions.

Triple Integrals in Cylindrical and Spherical Coordinates

This section generalizes triple integrals to the two most common non-rectangular coordinate systems. Because we introduced these ideas in our precalculus topics, we can be more direct in defining the volume elements for each of these systems and practice the slicing of a volume using these other coordinate systems. Some instructors give this section a quick coverage as a preview of the next section which will generalize triple integrals into any coordinate system and describe how to transform triple integrals between coordinate systems.

Introduction

In , we saw how advantageous it could be to use polar coordinates to write iterated integrals when trying to evaluate a double integral. In particular, we saw that double integrals with integrands and regions of integration that are simple to write in polar coordinates are the most convenient to convert, as well as how the area element would be equal to \(dA = r dr \, d\theta\) when using polar coordinates.

In , we introduced both cylindrical and spherical coordinate systems and explored converting points, equations, and regions between these and rectangular coordinate systems in three dimensions. Cylindrical coordinates are most commonly used in situations with rotational symmetry around the \(z\)-axis, whereas spherical coordinates are primarily used when there is rotational symmetry around the origin. We encourage you to review these elements, including the conversion equations between cylindrical and rectangular coordinates and conversion equations between spherical and rectangular coordinates. The following preview activity will include some descriptions of common surfaces given in either cylindrical or spherical coordinates.

Exploration

In this Preview Activity, we will be reviewing the meaning of each of the cylindrical and spherical coordinates by looking at a description of a common surface in either cylindrical or spherical coordinates. For each task, you should draw a plot of the surface described by hand and write a few sentences describing how your plot relates to the cylindrical/spherical coordinates.

What familiar surface is described by the points in cylindrical coordinates with \(r=2\), \(0 \leq \theta \leq 2\pi\), and \(0 \leq z \leq 2\)? How does this example suggest that we call these coordinates cylindrical coordinates? How does the surface change if we restrict \(\theta\) to \(0 \leq \theta \leq \pi\)?

What familiar surface is described by the points in cylindrical coordinates with \(\theta=2\), \(0 \leq r \leq 2\), and \(0 \leq z \leq 2\)?

Plot the graph of the cylindrical equation \(z=r\), where \(0 \leq \theta \leq 2\pi\) and \(0 \leq r \leq 2\). What familiar surface is this a plot of?

What familiar surface is described by the points in spherical coordinates with \(\rho = 1\), \(0 \leq \theta \leq 2\pi\), and \(0 \leq \phi \leq \pi\)? How does this particular example demonstrate the reason for the name of this coordinate system? What if we restrict \(\phi\) to \(0 \leq \phi \leq \frac{\pi}{2}\)?

What familiar surface is described by the points in spherical coordinates with \(\phi = \frac{\pi}{3}\), \(0 \leq \rho \leq 1\), and \(0 \leq \theta \leq 2\pi\)?

Triple Integrals in Cylindrical Coordinates

To evaluate a triple integral \(\iiint_S f(x,y,z) \, dV\) as an iterated integral in Cartesian coordinates, we use the fact that the volume element \(dV\) is equal to \(dz \, dy \, dx\) (which corresponds to the volume of a small box). To evaluate a triple integral in cylindrical coordinates, we similarly must understand the volume element \(dV\) in cylindrical coordinates.

In particular, we need to look at the volume of a region created by a small step in each of the coordinates (\(\Delta r\), \(\Delta \theta\), \(\Delta z\)). You can see a plot of an example region in and you should recognize the shaded area in the \(xy\)-plane as the area element from our work on double integrals in polar coordinates. Recall that \(\Delta A\) was \(\frac{1}{2}(r_{i+1}+r_i) \Delta r \ \Delta \theta\) and since \(z\) is the perpendicular height of our region, we have \[\begin{aligned}\end{aligned}\]

Remember that as \(\Delta r\) shrinks, \(\frac{(r_{i+1}+r_i)}{2}\) approaches the \(r\)-coordinate of this block. Therefore the volume element \(dV\) in cylindrical coordinates is given by \(dV = r \, dz \, dr \, d\theta\).

We can also convert our integrand to polar coordinates by using \(x=r\cos(\theta)\) and \(y=r\sin(\theta)\). Slicing our region into a radially simple or angularly simple description will provide the bounds of our iterated integrals used to evaluate the triple integral. Remember that cylindrical coordinates are really polar coordinates plus \(z\).

Given a continuous function \(f = f(x,y,z)\) over a region \(S\) in \(\R^3\), \[\begin{aligned}\end{aligned}\]

The latter expression is an iterated integral in cylindrical coordinates.

While the volume element and the conversion of the integrand will work the same for every case, the task of writing an iterated integral in cylindrical coordinates will require us to slice the particular region in terms of simple bounds on \(\theta\), \(r\), and \(z\). In the following activity, we explore how to do this in several situations where cylindrical coordinates are natural and advantageous.

Triple Integrals in Spherical Coordinates

Similar to our work with cylindrical and Cartesian coordinates, when it comes to thinking about particular surfaces in spherical coordinates, we usually write \(\rho\) as a function of \(\theta\) and \(\phi\); this is a natural analog to polar coordinates, where we often think of our distance from the origin in the plane as being a function of \(\theta\). In spherical coordinates, we likewise often view \(\rho\) as a function of \(\theta\) and \(\phi\), thus viewing distance from the origin as a function of two key angles.

As with rectangular and cylindrical coordinates, a triple integral \(\iiint_S f(x,y,z) \, dV\) in spherical coordinates can be evaluated as an iterated integral once we understand the volume element \(dV\). In , we see a volume given by a change in each of the \(\rho, \theta, \phi\) coordinates. A conceptual description for where the volume element comes from is given in the proof to .

Finally, in order to actually evaluate an iterated integral in spherical coordinates, we must of course determine the limits of integration in terms of \(\phi\), \(\theta\), and \(\rho\). The process is similar to our earlier work in other coordinate systems and we will look a few simple cases in the next activities; The central idea in our process is to fix all but one coordinate and give the same bounding functions for the remaining coordinate, then project onto the remaining coordinates and repeat this process.

Activity

In this activity, we will use spherical coordinates to help us more easily understand some natural geometric objects.

Recall that the sphere of radius \(a\) has spherical equation \(\rho = a\). Set up and evaluate an iterated integral in spherical coordinates to determine the volume inside a sphere of radius \(a\).

Set up, but do not evaluate, an iterated integral expression in spherical coordinates whose value is the mass of the solid obtained by removing the region inside the cone \(\phi=\frac{\pi}{4}\) from the sphere \(\rho = 2\). Let \(\delta\) at the point \((x,y,z)\) be the density given by \(\delta(x,y,z) = \sqrt{x^2+y^2+z^2}\). An illustration of this solid is shown in Figure.

  1. Evaluate the triple integral \(\underset{B}{∭}(zr\ \text{sin}\ \theta )r\ dr\ d\theta \ dz\) where the cylindrical box \(B\) is \(B=\{(r,\theta ,z)|0\le r\le 2,0\le \theta \le \pi \text{/}2,0\le z\le 4\}.\)

    Tunjukkan jawapan

    As stated in Fubini’s theorem, we can write the triple integral as the iterated integral

    \[\underset{B}{∭}(zr\ \text{sin}\ \theta )r\ dr\ d\theta \ dz={\int }_{\theta =0}^{\theta =\pi \text{/}2}{\int }_{r=0}^{r=2}{\int }_{z=0}^{z=4}(zr\ \text{sin}\ \theta )r\ dz\ dr\ d\theta .\]

    The evaluation of the iterated integral is straightforward. Each variable in the integral is independent of the others, so we can integrate each variable separately and multiply the results together. This makes the computation much easier:

    \[\begin{array}{l} \\ \\ \\ \\ {\int }_{\theta =0}^{\theta =\pi \text{/}2}{\int }_{r=0}^{r=2}{\int }_{z=0}^{z=4}(zr\ \text{sin}\ \theta )r\ dz\ dr\ d\theta \\ =({\int }_{0}^{\pi \text{/}2}\text{sin}\ \theta \ d\theta )({\int }_{0}^{2}{r}^{2}dr)({\int }_{0}^{4}z\ dz)=({\text{-}\text{cos}\ \theta |}_{0}^{\pi \text{/}2})({\frac{{r}^{3}}{3}|}_{0}^{2})({\frac{{z}^{2}}{2}|}_{0}^{4})=\frac{64}{3}.\end{array}\]

  3. Consider the region \(E\) inside the right circular cylinder with equation \(r=2\ \text{sin}\ \theta ,\) bounded below by the \(r\theta\)-plane and bounded above by the sphere with radius \(4\) centered at the origin (). Set up a triple integral over this region with a function \(f(r,\theta ,z)\) in cylindrical coordinates.

    Tunjukkan jawapan

    First, identify that the equation for the sphere is \({r}^{2}+{z}^{2}=16.\) We can see that the limits for \(z\) are from \(0\) to \(z=\sqrt{16-{r}^{2}}.\) Then the limits for \(r\) are from \(0\) to \(r=2\ \text{sin}\ \theta .\) Finally, the limits for \(\theta\) are from \(0\) to \(\pi .\) Hence the region is

    \[E=\{(r,\theta ,z)|0\le \theta \le \pi ,0\le r\le 2\ \text{sin}\ \theta ,0\le z\le \sqrt{16-{r}^{2}}\}.\]

    Therefore, the triple integral is

    \[\underset{E}{∭}f(r,\theta ,z)r\ dz\ dr\ d\theta =\int _{\theta =0}^{\theta =\pi }\ \int _{r=0}^{r=2\ \text{sin}\ \theta }\ \int _{z=0}^{z=\sqrt{16-{r}^{2}}}f(r,\theta ,z)r\ dz\ dr\ d\theta .\]
  4. Consider the region \(E\) inside the right circular cylinder with equation \(r=2\ \text{sin}\ \theta ,\) bounded below by the \(r\theta\)-plane and bounded above by \(z=4-y.\) Set up a triple integral with a function \(f(r,\theta ,z)\) in cylindrical coordinates.

    \(\underset{E}{∭}f(r,\theta ,z)r\ dz\ dr\ d\theta =\int _{\theta =0}^{\theta =\pi }\ \int _{r=0}^{r=2\ \text{sin}\ \theta }\ \int _{z=0}^{z=4-r\ \text{sin}\ \theta }f(r,\theta ,z)r\ dz\ dr\ d\theta .\)

  5. Let \(E\) be the region bounded below by the cone \(z=\sqrt{{x}^{2}+{y}^{2}}\) and above by the paraboloid \(z=2-{x}^{2}-{y}^{2}.\) (). Set up a triple integral in cylindrical coordinates to find the volume of the region, using the following orders of integration:

    1. \(dz\ dr\ d\theta\)
    2. \(dr\ dz\ d\theta .\)
    Tunjukkan jawapan
    1. The cone is of radius 1 where it meets the paraboloid. Since \(z=2-{x}^{2}-{y}^{2}=2-{r}^{2}\) and \(z=\sqrt{{x}^{2}+{y}^{2}}=r\) (assuming \(r\) is nonnegative), we have \(2-{r}^{2}=r.\) Solving, we have \({r}^{2}+r-2=(r+2)(r-1)=0.\) Since \(r\ge 0,\) we have \(r=1.\) Therefore \(z=1.\) So the intersection of these two surfaces is a circle of radius \(1\) in the plane \(z=1.\) The cone is the lower bound for \(z\) and the paraboloid is the upper bound. The projection of the region onto the \(xy\)-plane is the circle of radius \(1\) centered at the origin.
      Thus, we can describe the region as
      \[E=\{(r,\theta ,z)|0\le \theta \le 2\pi ,0\le r\le 1,r\le z\le 2-{r}^{2}\}.\]
      Hence the integral for the volume is
      \[V=\int _{\theta =0}^{\theta =2\pi }\ \int _{r=0}^{r=1}\ \int _{z=r}^{z=2-{r}^{2}}r\ dz\ dr\ d\theta .\]
    2. We can also write the cone surface as \(r=z\) and the paraboloid as \({r}^{2}=2-z.\) The lower bound for \(r\) is zero, but the upper bound is sometimes the cone and the other times it is the paraboloid. The plane \(z=1\) divides the region into two regions. Then the region can be described as
      \[\begin{array}{ll}E & =\{(r,\theta ,z)|0\le \theta \le 2\pi ,0\le z\le 1,0\le r\le z\} \\ & \cup \{(r,\theta ,z)|0\le \theta \le 2\pi ,1\le z\le 2,0\le r\le \sqrt{2-z}\}.\end{array}\]
      Now the integral for the volume becomes
      \[V=\int _{\theta =0}^{\theta =2\pi }\ \int _{z=0}^{z=1}\ \int _{r=0}^{r=z}r\ dr\ dz\ d\theta +\int _{\theta =0}^{\theta =2\pi }\ \int _{z=1}^{z=2}\ \int _{r=0}^{r=\sqrt{2-z}}r\ dr\ dz\ d\theta .\]

  7. Let E be the region bounded below by the \(r\theta\)-plane, above by the sphere \({x}^{2}+{y}^{2}+{z}^{2}=4,\) and on the sides by the cylinder \({x}^{2}+{y}^{2}=1\) (). Set up a triple integral in cylindrical coordinates to find the volume of the region using the following orders of integration, and in each case find the volume and check that the answers are the same:

    1. \(dz\ dr\ d\theta\)
    2. \(dr\ dz\ d\theta .\)

    1. Note that the equation for the sphere is
      \[{x}^{2}+{y}^{2}+{z}^{2}=4\ \text{or}\ {r}^{2}+{z}^{2}=4\]
      and the equation for the cylinder is
      \[{x}^{2}+{y}^{2}=1\ \text{or}\ {r}^{2}=1.\]
      Thus, we have for the region \(E\)
      \[E=\{(r,\theta ,z)|0\le z\le \sqrt{4-{r}^{2}},0\le r\le 1,0\le \theta \le 2\pi \}\]
      Hence the integral for the volume is
      \[\begin{array}{ll}V(E) & =\int _{\theta =0}^{\theta =2\pi }\ \int _{r=0}^{r=1}\ \int _{z=0}^{z=\sqrt{4-{r}^{2}}}r\ dz\ dr\ d\theta \\ & =\int _{\theta =0}^{\theta =2\pi }\ \int _{r=0}^{r=1}[{rz|}_{z=0}^{z=\sqrt{4-{r}^{2}}}]dr\ d\theta =\int _{\theta =0}^{\theta =2\pi }\ \int _{r=0}^{r=1}(r\sqrt{4-{r}^{2}})dr\ d\theta \\ & =\int _{0}^{2\pi }(\frac{8}{3}-\sqrt{3})d\theta =2\pi (\frac{8}{3}-\sqrt{3})\ \text{cubic units}\text{.}\end{array}\]
    2. Since the sphere is \({x}^{2}+{y}^{2}+{z}^{2}=4,\) which is \({r}^{2}+{z}^{2}=4,\) and the cylinder is \({x}^{2}+{y}^{2}=1,\) which is \({r}^{2}=1,\) we have \(1+{z}^{2}=4,\) that is, \({z}^{2}=3.\) Thus we have two regions, since the sphere and the cylinder intersect at \((1,\sqrt{3})\) in the \(rz\)-plane
      \[{E}_{1}=\{(r,\theta ,z)|0\le r\le \sqrt{4-{z}^{2}},\sqrt{3}\le z\le 2,0\le \theta \le 2\pi \}\]
      and
      \[{E}_{2}=\{(r,\theta ,z)|0\le r\le 1,0\le z\le \sqrt{3},0\le \theta \le 2\pi \}.\]

    As before, in this case the variables in the iterated integral are actually independent of each other and hence we can integrate each piece and multiply:

  10. Set up an integral for the volume of the region bounded by the cone \(z=\sqrt{3({x}^{2}+{y}^{2})}\) and the hemisphere \(z=\sqrt{4-{x}^{2}-{y}^{2}}\) (see the figure below).

    Using the conversion formulas from rectangular coordinates to spherical coordinates, we have:

    For the cone: \(z=\sqrt{3({x}^{2}+{y}^{2})}\) or \(\rho \ \text{cos}\ \phi =\sqrt{3}\rho \ \text{sin}\ \phi\) or \(\text{tan}\ \phi =\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\) or \(\phi =\frac{\pi }{6}.\)

      \[V(E)=\int _{\theta =0}^{\theta =2\pi }\ \int _{\phi =0}^{\phi =\pi \text{/}4}\ \int _{\rho =0}^{\rho =\text{cos}\ \phi }{\rho }^{2}\text{sin}\ \phi \ d\rho \ d\phi \ d\theta .\]
    2. Consider the \(\phi \rho\)-plane. Note that the ranges for \(\phi\) and \(\rho\) (from part a.) are
      \[\begin{array}{l}0\le \phi \le \pi \text{/}4 \\ 0\le \rho \le \text{cos}\ \phi .\end{array}\]
      The curve \(\rho =\text{cos}\ \phi\) meets the line \(\phi =\pi \text{/}4\) at the point \((\pi \text{/}4,\sqrt{2}\text{/}2).\) Thus, to change the order of integration, we need to use two pieces:
      \[\begin{array}{lllllllllll}\begin{array}{l}0\le \rho \le \sqrt{2}\text{/}2 \\ 0\le \phi \le \pi \text{/}4\end{array} & & & \text{and} & & & \begin{array}{lll}\sqrt{2}\text{/}2 & \le & \rho \le 1 \\ 0 & \le & \phi \le {\text{cos}}^{-1}\rho .\end{array}\end{array}\]
      Hence the integral for the volume of the solid region \(E\) becomes
      \[V(E)=\int _{\theta =0}^{\theta =2\pi }\ \int _{\rho =0}^{\rho =\sqrt{2}\text{/}2}\ \int _{\phi =0}^{\phi =\pi \text{/}4}{\rho }^{2}\text{sin}\ \phi \ d\phi \ d\rho \ d\theta +\int _{\theta =0}^{\theta =2\pi }\ \int _{\rho =\sqrt{2}\text{/}2}^{\rho =1}\ \int _{\phi =0}^{\phi ={\text{cos}}^{-1}\rho }{\rho }^{2}\text{sin}\ \phi \ d\phi \ d\rho \ d\theta .\]
      In each case, the integration results in \(V(E)=\frac{\pi }{8}.\)
  13. Convert the following integral into cylindrical coordinates:

    \[\int _{y=-1}^{y=1}\ \int _{x=0}^{x=\sqrt{1-{y}^{2}}}\ \int _{z={x}^{2}+{y}^{2}}^{z=\sqrt{{x}^{2}+{y}^{2}}}xyz\ dz\ dx\ dy.\]

    The ranges of the variables are

    \[\begin{array}{lll}-1 & \le & y\le 1 \\ 0 & \le & x\le \sqrt{1-{y}^{2}} \\ {x}^{2}+{y}^{2} & \le & z\le \sqrt{{x}^{2}+{y}^{2}}.\end{array}\]

    The first two inequalities describe the right half of a circle of radius \(1.\) Therefore, the ranges for \(\theta\) and \(r\) are

    \[-\frac{\pi }{2}\le \theta \le \frac{\pi }{2}\ \text{and}\ 0\le r\le 1.\]

    The limits of \(z\) are \({r}^{2}\le z\le r,\) hence

    \[\int _{y=-1}^{y=1}\ \int _{x=0}^{x=\sqrt{1-{y}^{2}}}\ \int _{z={x}^{2}+{y}^{2}}^{z=\sqrt{{x}^{2}+{y}^{2}}}xyz\ dz\ dx\ dy=\int _{\theta =\text{-}\pi \text{/}2}^{\theta =\pi \text{/}2}\ \int _{r=0}^{r=1}\ \int _{z={r}^{2}}^{z=r}r(r\ \text{cos}\ \theta )(r\ \text{sin}\ \theta )z\ dz\ dr\ d\theta .\]
  14. Convert the following integral into spherical coordinates:

    \[\int _{y=0}^{y=3}\ \int _{x=0}^{x=\sqrt{9-{y}^{2}}}\ \int _{z=\sqrt{{x}^{2}+{y}^{2}}}^{z=\sqrt{18-{x}^{2}-{y}^{2}}}({x}^{2}+{y}^{2}+{z}^{2})dz\ dx\ dy.\]
    Tunjukkan jawapan

    The ranges of the variables are

    \[\begin{array}{lll}0 & \le & y\le 3 \\ 0 & \le & x\le \sqrt{9-{y}^{2}} \\ \sqrt{{x}^{2}+{y}^{2}} & \le & z\le \sqrt{18-{x}^{2}-{y}^{2}}.\end{array}\]

    The first two ranges of variables describe a quarter disk in the first quadrant of the \(xy\)-plane. Hence the range for \(\theta\) is \(0\le \theta \le \frac{\pi }{2}.\)

    The lower bound \(z=\sqrt{{x}^{2}+{y}^{2}}\) is the upper half of a cone and the upper bound \(z=\sqrt{18-{x}^{2}-{y}^{2}}\) is the upper half of a sphere. Therefore, we have \(0\le \rho \le \sqrt{18},\) which is \(0\le \rho \le 3\sqrt{2}.\)

    For the ranges of \(\phi ,\) we need to find where the cone and the sphere intersect, so solve the equation

    \[\begin{array}{lll}{r}^{2}+{z}^{2} & = & 18 \\ {(\sqrt{{x}^{2}+{y}^{2}})}^{2}+{z}^{2} & = & 18 \\ {z}^{2}+{z}^{2} & = & 18 \\ 2{z}^{2} & = & 18 \\ {z}^{2} & = & 9 \\ z & = & 3.\end{array}\]

    This gives

    \[\begin{array}{lll}3\sqrt{2}\ \text{cos}\ \phi & = & 3 \\ \text{cos}\ \phi & = & \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \\ \phi & = & \frac{\pi }{4}.\end{array}\]

    Putting this together, we obtain

    \[\int _{y=0}^{y=3}\ \int _{x=0}^{x=\sqrt{9-{y}^{2}}}\ \int _{z=\sqrt{{x}^{2}+{y}^{2}}}^{z=\sqrt{18-{x}^{2}-{y}^{2}}}({x}^{2}+{y}^{2}+{z}^{2})dz\ dx\ dy=\int _{\phi =0}^{\phi =\pi \text{/}4}\ \int _{\theta =0}^{\theta =\pi \text{/}2}\ \int _{\rho =0}^{\rho =3\sqrt{2}}{\rho }^{4}\text{sin}\ \phi \ d\rho \ d\theta \ d\phi .\]

  16. Find the volume of the spherical planetarium in l’Hemisphèric in Valencia, Spain, which is five stories tall and has a radius of approximately \(50\) ft, using the equation \({x}^{2}+{y}^{2}+{z}^{2}={r}^{2}.\)

    Tunjukkan jawapan

    We calculate the volume of the ball in the first octant, where \(x\ge 0,y\ge 0,\) and \(z\ge 0,\) using spherical coordinates, and then multiply the result by \(8\) for symmetry. Since we consider the region \(D\) as the first octant in the integral, the ranges of the variables are

    \[0\le \phi \le \frac{\pi }{2},0\le \rho \le r,0\le \theta \le \frac{\pi }{2}.\]

    Therefore,

    \[\begin{array}{ll}V & =\underset{D}{∭}dx\ dy\ dz=8\int _{\theta =0}^{\theta =\pi \text{/}2}\ \int _{\rho =0}^{\rho =r}\ \int _{\phi =0}^{\phi =\pi \text{/}2}{\rho }^{2}\text{sin}\ \theta \ d\phi \ d\rho \ d\theta \\ & =8\int _{\phi =0}^{\phi =\pi \text{/}2}d\phi \int _{\rho =0}^{\rho =r}{\rho }^{2}d\rho \int _{\theta =0}^{\theta =\pi \text{/}2}\text{sin}\ \theta \ d\theta \\ & =8(\frac{\pi }{2})(\frac{{r}^{3}}{3})(1) \\ & =\frac{4}{3}\pi {r}^{3}.\end{array}\]

    This exactly matches with what we knew. So for a sphere with a radius of approximately \(50\) ft, the volume is \(\frac{4}{3}\pi {(50)}^{3}\approx 523,600{\ \text{ft}}^{3}.\)

  17. Find the volume of the ellipsoid \(\frac{{x}^{2}}{{a}^{2}}+\frac{{y}^{2}}{{b}^{2}}+\frac{{z}^{2}}{{c}^{2}}=1.\)

    Tunjukkan jawapan

    We again use symmetry and evaluate the volume of the ellipsoid using spherical coordinates. As before, we use the first octant \(x\ge 0,y\ge 0,\) and \(z\ge 0\) and then multiply the result by \(8.\)

    In this case the ranges of the variables are

    \[0\le \phi \le \frac{\pi }{2},0,0\le \rho \le 1,\ \text{and}\ 0\le \theta \le \frac{\pi }{2}.\]

    Also, we need to change the rectangular to spherical coordinates in this way:

    \[x=a\rho \ \text{cos}\ \phi \ \text{sin}\ \theta ,y=b\rho \ \text{sin}\ \phi \ \text{sin}\ \theta ,\ \text{and}\ z=c\rho \ \text{cos}\ \theta .\]

    Then the volume of the ellipsoid becomes

    \[\begin{array}{ll}V & =\underset{D}{∭}dx\ dy\ dz \\ & =8\int _{\theta =0}^{\theta =\pi \text{/}2}\ \int _{\rho =0}^{\rho =1}\ \int _{\phi =0}^{\phi =\pi \text{/}2}abc{\rho }^{2}\text{sin}\ \theta \ d\phi \ d\rho \ d\theta \\ & =8abc\int _{\phi =0}^{\phi =\pi \text{/}2}d\phi \int _{\rho =0}^{\rho =1}{\rho }^{2}d\rho \int _{\theta =0}^{\theta =\pi \text{/}2}\text{sin}\ \theta \ d\theta \\ & =8abc(\frac{\pi }{2})(\frac{1}{3})(1) \\ & =\frac{4}{3}\pi abc.\end{array}\]

    This problem is directly related to the l’Hemisphèric structure. The volume of space inside the ellipsoid and outside the sphere might be useful to find the expense of heating or cooling that space. We can use the preceding two examples for the volume of the sphere and ellipsoid and then substract.

    First we find the volume of the ellipsoid using \(a=75\ \text{ft,}\) \(b=80\ \text{ft,}\) and \(c=90\ \text{ft}\) in the result from . Hence the volume of the ellipsoid is

    \[{V}_{\text{ellipsoid}}=\frac{4}{3}\pi (75)(80)(90)\approx 2,262,000{\ \text{ft}}^{3}.\]

    From , the volume of the sphere is

    \[{V}_{\text{sphere}}\approx 523,600{\ \text{ft}}^{3}.\]

    Therefore, the volume of the space inside the ellipsoid \(\frac{{x}^{2}}{{75}^{2}}+\frac{{y}^{2}}{{80}^{2}}+\frac{{z}^{2}}{{90}^{2}}=1\) and outside the sphere \({x}^{2}+{y}^{2}+{z}^{2}={50}^{2}\) is approximately

    \[{V}_{\text{Hemisferic}}={V}_{\text{ellipsoid}}-{V}_{\text{sphere}}=1,738,400{\ \text{ft}}^{3}.\]
