Solution
We are asked to set up triple integrals for the volume of a sphere with radius in three different coordinate systems: spherical, cylindrical, and rectangular coordinates.
a. Spherical Coordinates:
In spherical coordinates, the volume element is given by , where:
- is the radial distance (from the origin),
- is the azimuthal angle (in the xy-plane, 0 to ),
- is the polar angle (from the positive z-axis, 0 to ).
The limits for a sphere of radius 5 are:
- goes from 0 to 5,
- goes from 0 to ,
- goes from 0 to .
The integral for the volume is:
b. Cylindrical Coordinates:
In cylindrical coordinates, the volume element is given by , where:
- is the radial distance in the xy-plane,
- is the azimuthal angle (0 to ),
- is the height (from to , derived from the equation of the sphere ).
The limits are:
- goes from 0 to 5,
- goes from 0 to ,
- goes from to .
The integral for the volume is:
c. Rectangular Coordinates:
In rectangular coordinates, the volume element is . The equation of the sphere is , so the limits on , , and are determined by this equation.
The limits are:
- goes from to ,
- goes from to ,
- goes from to .
The integral for the volume is:
