- use spherical coordinates to find the mass of the sphere x2 + y2 + z2 = a2 with the given densityThe density at any point is proportional to the distance between the point and the z-axisarrow_forwardChange from rectangular to cylindrical coordinates. (a) (0, −1, 2) (r, ?, z) =arrow_forwarduse spherical coordinates to find the volume of the solid. The solid between the spheres x2 + y2 + z2 = a2 and x2 + y2 + z2 = b2, b > a, and inside the cone z2 = x2 + y2arrow_forward
- Use cylindrical coordinates.Evaluate x2 + y2 dV, E where E is the region that lies inside the cylinder x2 + y2 = 4 and between the planes z = −3 and z = −1.arrow_forwardA body T with the parameters (1/2)(sqrt(x^2)+(y^2))≤z≤sqrt(16-(x^2)-(y^2) Use the sphere coordinates to calculate the volume of the body.arrow_forward(a) Write down the conversion formula from the Cartesian coordinate to Spherical Coordinate and viceversa.(b) Using Cylindrical coordinate system, find the volume of a solid G that is bounded above by thehemispherearrow_forward
- Change from rectangular to cylindrical coordinates. (a) (0, −4, 6) (r, ?, z) = (b) (−9, 9 3 , 6) (r, ?, z) =arrow_forwardThe conversion formulas from cylindrical coordinates (r,θ, z) to rectangular coordinates (x, y, z)are x =_____ , y = _____, z =_____arrow_forwardUsing integration, show that The area of a trapezoid with bases a and b and with altitude h is A =1/2 (a+b)h.arrow_forward
