Example Question #1 : Triple Integration Of Surface

Evaluate $\int \int \int_D y \ dV$ , where is the region below the plane z=x+1 , above the plane and between the cylinders x^2+y^2=1 , and x^2+y^2=9 .

Possible Answers:

$\frac{\pi}{2}$

$\frac{\pi}{4}$

$\pi$

$2 \pi$

Correct answer:

Explanation:

We need to figure out our boundaries for our integral.

We need to convert everything into cylindrical coordinates. Remeber we are above the plane, this means we are above z=0 .

$0\leq z \leq x+1 \rightarrow 0\leq z \leq r\cos(\theta)+1$

The region is between two circles x^2+y^2=1 , and x^2+y^2=9 .

This means that

$0 \leq \theta \leq 2\pi$

$1\leq r \leq 3$

$\int \int \int_D y \ dV=\int_{0}^{2\pi} \int_{1}^{3} \int_{0}^{r\cos(\theta)+1} r\sin(\theta) r\ dz \ dr \ d\theta$

$=\int_{0}^{2\pi} \int_{1}^{3} \int_{0}^{r\cos(\theta)+1} r^2\sin(\theta) \ dz \ dr \ d\theta$

$=\int_{0}^{2\pi} \int_{1}^{3} zr^2\sin(\theta) \Big|_{0}^{r\cos(\theta)+1} \ dr \ d\theta$

$=\int_{0}^{2\pi} \int_{1}^{3} (r\cos(\theta)+1)r^2\sin(\theta)-0 \ dr \ d\theta$

$=\int_{0}^{2\pi} \int_{1}^{3} r^3\sin(\theta)\cos(\theta)+r^2\sin(\theta) \ dr \ d\theta$

$=\int_{0}^{2\pi} \frac{1}{4}r^4\sin(\theta)\cos(\theta)+\frac{1}{3}r^3\sin(\theta) \Big|_{1}^{3}\ d\theta$

$=\int_{0}^{2\pi} (\frac{1}{4}(3)^4\sin(\theta)\cos(\theta)+\frac{1}{3}(3)^3\sin(\theta))-(\frac{1}{4}(1)^4\sin(\theta)\cos(\theta)+\frac{1}{3}(1)^3\sin(\theta)) \ d\theta$

$=\int_{0}^{2\pi} (\frac{81}{4}\sin(\theta)\cos(\theta)+9\sin(\theta))-(\frac{1}{4}\sin(\theta)\cos(\theta)+\frac{1}{3}\sin(\theta)) \ d\theta$

$=\int_{0}^{2\pi} 20\sin(\theta)\cos(\theta)+\frac{26}{3}\sin(\theta) \ d\theta$

$= -\frac{1}{2}\cdot20\cos^2(\theta)-\frac{26}{3}\cos(\theta)\Big|_{0}^{2\pi}$

$= -\frac{1}{2}\cdot20\cos^2(2\pi)-\frac{26}{3}\cos(2\pi)-(-\frac{1}{2}\cdot20\cos^2(0)-\frac{26}{3}\cos(0))$

$= -\frac{1}{2}\cdot20(1)-\frac{26}{3}(1)-(-\frac{1}{2}\cdot20(1)-\frac{26}{3}(1))$

$= -10-\frac{26}{3}-(-10-\frac{26}{3})=0$
