Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's break down the problem from the image step by step:
We are given a solid in the first octant, formed by assembling a cube with a square pyramid on top. The cube is bounded by the coordinate planes and the planes , , and . The pyramid has its base corresponding to the top part of the cube, and its top vertex is at the point .
(a) Sketch the region
To sketch the region , we have:
- A cube in the first octant with its vertices at points formed by the intersection of the planes , , and .
- A pyramid on top of this cube, with the square base corresponding to the top face of the cube, and the vertex of the pyramid at .
Thus, the region consists of a cube with a pyramid on top of it.
(b) Sketch the "shadows" of in the -plane, -plane, and -plane
To sketch the shadows:
- In the -plane, the projection will be a square with side length 3 (from the cube).
- In the -plane, the projection will show a square base with the pyramid tapering towards the top.
- In the -plane, the projection will similarly show the square base with the pyramid tapering upwards.
(c) Compute the volume of with triple integration
The volume of consists of two parts:
- The volume of the cube: Since the cube has side length 3, its volume is .
- The volume of the pyramid: We need to set up a triple integral for the pyramid's volume. The density varies in the pyramid, so it requires a careful approach.
For the pyramid, we need to find the bounds of integration and then perform the integration.
(d) Compute the mass of
- The density of the cube is .
- The density of the pyramid is .
To compute the mass of , we need to calculate the mass of both the cube and the pyramid:
- The mass of the cube can be found by integrating its density over its volume.
- The mass of the pyramid involves integrating its density over its volume.
