Math Problem Statement

Use cylindrical coordinates to calculate the triple integral \( \iiint_W f(x, y, z) \, dV \) for the function \( f(x, y, z) = \frac{1}{1156} z \sqrt{x^2 + y^2} \) and the region \( x^2 + y^2 \leq z \leq 34 - (x^2 + y^2) \).

Solution

To solve this triple integral using cylindrical coordinates, let’s go through the necessary steps in detail.

Problem Summary

We need to evaluate the triple integral Wf(x,y,z)dV\iiint_W f(x, y, z) \, dV where f(x,y,z)=11156zx2+y2f(x, y, z) = \frac{1}{1156} z \sqrt{x^2 + y^2} over the region WW defined by: x2+y2z34(x2+y2).x^2 + y^2 \leq z \leq 34 - (x^2 + y^2).

Step 1: Converting to Cylindrical Coordinates

In cylindrical coordinates:

  • x=rcosθx = r \cos \theta
  • y=rsinθy = r \sin \theta
  • z=zz = z
  • x2+y2=r2x^2 + y^2 = r^2
  • The volume element dV=rdrdθdzdV = r \, dr \, d\theta \, dz

Thus, the function f(x,y,z)f(x, y, z) in cylindrical coordinates becomes: f(r,θ,z)=11156zr=11156zr.f(r, \theta, z) = \frac{1}{1156} z \cdot r = \frac{1}{1156} zr.

Step 2: Setting Up the Limits for Integration

The region WW is bounded by:

  1. r2zr^2 \leq z
  2. z34r2z \leq 34 - r^2

This implies that zz varies between r2r^2 and 34r234 - r^2.

For rr, the radius in the xyxy-plane, the maximum value occurs when z=34r2=r2z = 34 - r^2 = r^2, leading to: 2r2=34r2=17r=17.2r^2 = 34 \Rightarrow r^2 = 17 \Rightarrow r = \sqrt{17}.

Therefore, rr ranges from 00 to 17\sqrt{17}.

The angle θ\theta goes from 00 to 2π2\pi.

Step 3: Writing the Integral

Now, we can express the integral in cylindrical coordinates: Wf(x,y,z)dV=02π017r234r211156zrdzdrdθ.\iiint_W f(x, y, z) \, dV = \int_0^{2\pi} \int_0^{\sqrt{17}} \int_{r^2}^{34 - r^2} \frac{1}{1156} z r \, dz \, dr \, d\theta.

Step 4: Evaluating the Integral

Let’s break this down by integrating in the order dzdz, drdr, and dθd\theta:

  1. Integrate with respect to zz: r234r211156zrdz=r1156r234r2zdz.\int_{r^2}^{34 - r^2} \frac{1}{1156} z r \, dz = \frac{r}{1156} \int_{r^2}^{34 - r^2} z \, dz. The integral of zz with respect to zz is: zdz=z22.\int z \, dz = \frac{z^2}{2}. Thus, r1156r234r2zdz=r1156[(34r2)22(r2)22].\frac{r}{1156} \int_{r^2}^{34 - r^2} z \, dz = \frac{r}{1156} \left[ \frac{(34 - r^2)^2}{2} - \frac{(r^2)^2}{2} \right]. Simplify the expression inside the brackets.

  2. Integrate with respect to rr: After simplifying the result from the zz-integration, integrate over rr from 00 to 17\sqrt{17}.

  3. Integrate with respect to θ\theta: Finally, integrate over θ\theta from 00 to 2π2\pi.
