Exercise 14.7.26 Using Cylindrical Coordinates
Use cylindrical coordinates to find the cone's volume, as shown in Figure 1.
Solution The mass for the cone is:
$$\int \int \int_{Q} \: dV $$ | $$= \int \int_{R_{xy}} \int_{0}^{h(1-r/r_{0})} \: dz \: dA$$ |
$$= \int_{0}^{2 \pi} \int_{0}^{r_{0}} \left(1-\frac{r}{r_{0}} \right)r \: dr \: d\theta$$ | |
$$= 2 \pi h \left[ \frac{r^{2}}{2} - \frac{r^{3}}{3r_{0}} \right]_{0}^{r_{0}} = \frac{\pi r_{0}^{2}}{3}. $$ |
The \(z\) coordinate has the integral
$$\int \int \int_{Q} z \: dV$$ | $$=\int \int_{R_{xy}} \int_{0}^{h(1-r/r_{0})} z \: dz \: dA $$ |
$$= \int_{0}^{2 \pi} \int_{0}^{r_{0}} \frac{1}{2} h^{2} \left(1-\frac{r}{r_{0}} \right)r \: dr \: d\theta $$ | |
$$=\pi h^{2} \int_{0}^{r_{0}}\left( r-\frac{2r^{2}}{r_{0}}+ \frac{r^{3}}{r_{0}^{2}} \right) \: dr $$ | |
$$=\pi h^{2} \left[ \frac{r^{2}}{2}- \frac{2r^{3}}{3r_{0}}+ \frac{r^{4}}{4r_{0}^{2}} \right]_{0}^{r_{0}} $$ | |
$$=\pi h^{2} r_{0}^{2} \left(\frac{1}{2} - \frac{2}{3} + \frac{1}{4} \right) = \frac{\pi h^{2} r_{0}^{2}}{12}. $$ |
Therefore,
- $$\bar{z} = \frac{\int \int \int_{Q} z \: dV}{\int \int \int_{Q} \: dV} = \frac{h}{4}. $$
By symmetry, \(\bar{x} = \bar{y}=0\). Therefore the centroid is: \((\bar{x},\bar{y},\bar{z})=(0,0,h/4).\)
Exercise 14.7.36 Inertia Moment
Use cylindrical coordinates to verify the formula for the inertia moment for the solid with uniform density. The solid between the spheres
- \(x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}=a^{2}\)
and
- \(x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}=b^{2}, \: b > a,\)
and inside the cone
- \(z^{2}=x^{2}+y^{2},\)
as shown in Figure 2.
Solution In spherical coordinates, the equation \(x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}=z\) is translated into \( \rho^{2}= \rho \cos \phi \Leftrightarrow \rho = \cos \phi.\) This is a sphere with radius 1/2 centered at \((0,0,1/2).\) The equation \(z^{2}=x^{2}+y^{2}\) is translated to \(\phi = \pi/4\).
$$\int \int \int_{Q} \: dV $$ | $$= \int_{0}^{2\pi} \int_{\pi/4}^{\pi/2} \int_{0}^{\cos \phi} \rho^{2} \sin \phi \: d\rho \: d\phi \: d\theta $$ |
$$=2 \pi \int_{\pi/4}^{\pi/2} \sin \phi \frac{\cos^{3} \phi}{3} \: d\phi $$ | |
$$=\frac{2\pi}{3} \int_{\pi/4}^{\pi/2} \cos^{3} \phi \:d(-\cos \phi) $$ | |
$$=-\frac{2\pi}{3} \left[ \frac{\cos^{4} \phi}{4} \right]_{\pi/4}^{\pi/2} $$ | |
$$= \frac{\pi}{6} \left( \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \right)^{4}= \frac{\pi}{24}.$$ |
