cylindrical coordinates help!

Sketch the solid whose volume is given by

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{0}^{\pi/6}\int\limits_{0}^{\pi/2}\int\limits_{0}^{3} \rho ^{2} \sin \theta d \rho d \theta d \phi\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what does this thing look like??

OpenStudy (mathmate):

You mean spherical coordinates! lol!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, i do!

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Can you check if there was not a typo for sin phi instead of sin theta. The Jacobian for dV calls for a rho^2sin phi drho dtheta dphi.

OpenStudy (mathmate):

If it is sin(phi), then it is a thirty-degree quarter open cone 3 units in radius opening towards the north pole, and situated in the first octant.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you're right, it was sin phi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did you get the thirty degree part of that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OH phi is measured from the top! I get you now.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

great, thanks!

You're welcome!
