integrate f(x,y,z)=(1/676)z*sqrt(x^2 + y^2) over the region x^2 + y^2 <= z <= 26 - (x^2 + y^2)

We are tasked with integrating the function \( f(x, y, z) = \frac{1}{676} z \sqrt{x^2 + y^2} \) over the region defined by:

\[
x^2 + y^2 \leq z \leq 26 - (x^2 + y^2)
\]

This is a volume integral, and due to the symmetry of the region and the form of the function, it's convenient to switch to cylindrical coordinates. In cylindrical coordinates, the relationships are as follows:

\[
x = r \cos \theta, \quad y = r \sin \theta, \quad z = z
\]
\[
x^2 + y^2 = r^2
\]

The function becomes:

\[
f(r, \theta, z) = \frac{1}{676} z r
\]

The volume element \( dV \) in cylindrical coordinates is:

\[
dV = r \, dz \, dr \, d\theta
\]

Thus, the integral becomes:

\[
\int \int \int_{\text{region}} \frac{1}{676} z r \, r \, dz \, dr \, d\theta = \frac{1}{676} \int_0^{2\pi} \int_0^{R} \int_{r^2}^{26 - r^2} z r^2 \, dz \, dr \, d\theta
\]

where \( R \) is the maximum value of \( r \) that satisfies the condition \( r^2 \leq 13 \) (from the bounds \( r^2 \leq z \leq 26 - r^2 \)).

### Step-by-Step Solution

1. **Theta integration**: Since the limits for \( \theta \) are from \( 0 \) to \( 2\pi \), and the integrand does not depend on \( \theta \), the integral over \( \theta \) simply gives a factor of \( 2\pi \).

\[
\int_0^{2\pi} d\theta = 2\pi
\]

2. **Integral over z**: The bounds for \( z \) are from \( r^2 \) to \( 26 - r^2 \). Thus, we compute:

\[
\int_{r^2}^{26 - r^2} z r^2 \, dz = r^2 \left[ \frac{z^2}{2} \right]_{r^2}^{26 - r^2}
\]

Substitute the limits:

\[
= r^2 \left( \frac{(26 - r^2)^2}{2} - \frac{(r^2)^2}{2} \right)
= r^2 \left( \frac{(26 - r^2)^2 - r^4}{2} \right)
\]

3. **Integral over r**: Now we integrate the result over \( r \), from \( 0 \) to \( \sqrt{13} \), since the condition \( r^2 \leq 13 \) gives \( r \leq \sqrt{13} \).

Putting everything together, the full integral is:

\[
\frac{1}{676} \cdot 2\pi \int_0^{\sqrt{13}} r^2 \left( \frac{(26 - r^2)^2 - r^4}{2} \right) dr
\]

We can break this integral into manageable parts and evaluate it.

Here are 5 relative questions for deeper exploration:

1. How do cylindrical coordinates simplify volume integrals in three dimensions?
2. What are the advantages of using symmetry when setting up integrals?
3. How do the limits of integration change when switching from Cartesian to cylindrical coordinates?
4. What is the geometric interpretation of the bounds \( x^2 + y^2 \leq z \leq 26 - (x^2 + y^2) \)?
5. How can numerical integration techniques be used if analytical integration is too difficult?

**Tip:** In cylindrical coordinates, always express the volume element correctly as \( r \, dz \, dr \, d\theta \) to account for the radial symmetry in the plane.
