Exercise · ZW-CYLINDRICAL-AND-SPHERICAL-COORDINATES-008 · ★★☆ Intermediate
Compute \(\iiint_E z\,dV\), where \(E\) is the cylinder \(r\le1\), \(0\le z\le2\).
Choose one option.
Show answer
- C. \(2\pi\)
Explanation
\(\int_0^{2\pi}\!\int_0^1\!\int_0^2 z\,r\,dz\,dr\,d\theta=2\pi\cdot\tfrac12\cdot2=2\pi\). Omitting the factor \(r\) would give \(4\pi\).
Review the concept: Cylindrical and spherical coordinates
Cylindrical coordinates \((r,\theta,z)\) and spherical coordinates \((\rho,\theta,\varphi)\) locate a point in space with distances and angles, and simplify solids with rotational symmetry.
\[\begin{aligned}x&=r\cos\theta,\ y=r\sin\theta,\ z=z\\x&=\rho\sin\varphi\cos\theta,\ y=\rho\sin\varphi\sin\theta,\ z=\rho\cos\varphi\end{aligned}\]
