You appear to be on a device with a "narrow" screen width (i.e. you are probably on a mobile phone). Due to the nature of the mathematics on this site it is best views in landscape mode. If your device is not in landscape mode many of the equations will run off the side of your device (should be able to scroll to see them) and some of the menu items will be cut off due to the narrow screen width.
Assignment Problems Notice
Please do not email me to get solutions and/or answers to these problems. I will not give them out under any circumstances nor will I respond to any requests to do so. The intent of these problems is for instructors to use them for assignments and having solutions/answers easily available defeats that purpose.

Section 15.6 : Triple Integrals in Cylindrical Coordinates

  1. Evaluate \( \displaystyle \iiint\limits_{E}{{8z\,dV}}\) where \(E\) is the region bounded by \(z = 2{x^2} + 2{y^2} - 4\) and \(z = 5 - {x^2} - {y^2}\) in the 1st octant.
  2. Evaluate \( \displaystyle \iiint\limits_{E}{{6xy\,dV}}\) where \(E\) is the region above \(z = 2x - 10\), below \(z = 2\) and inside the cylinder \({x^2} + {y^2} = 4\).
  3. Evaluate \( \displaystyle \iiint\limits_{E}{{9y{z^3}\,dV}}\) where \(E\) is the region between \(x = - \sqrt {9{y^2} + 9{z^2}} \) and \(x = \sqrt {{y^2} + {z^2}} \) inside the cylinder \({y^2} + {z^2} = 1\).
  4. Evaluate \( \displaystyle \iiint\limits_{E}{{x + 2\,dV}}\) where \(E\) is the region bounded by \(x = 18 - 4{y^2} - 4{z^2}\) and \(x = 2\) with \(z \ge 0\).
  5. Evaluate \( \displaystyle \iiint\limits_{E}{{x + 2\,dV}}\) where \(E\) is the region between the two planes \(2x + y + z = 6\) and \(6x + 3y + 3z = 12\) inside the cylinder \({x^2} + {z^2} = 16\).
  6. Evaluate \( \displaystyle \iiint\limits_{E}{{{x^2}\,dV}}\) where \(E\) is the region bounded by \(y = {x^2} + {z^2} - 4\) and \(y = 8 - 5{x^2} - 5{z^2}\) with \(x \le 0\).
  7. Use a triple integral to determine the volume of the region bounded by \(z = \sqrt {{x^2} + {y^2}} \), and \(z = {x^2} + {y^2}\) in the 1st octant.
  8. Use a triple integral to determine the volume of the region bounded by \(y = \sqrt {9{x^2} + 9{z^2}} \), and \(y = - 3{x^2} - 3{z^2}\) in the 1st octant.
  9. Use a triple integral to determine the volume of the region behind \(x = z + 3\), in front of \(x = - z - 6\) and inside the cylinder \({y^2} + {z^2} = 4\).
  10. Evaluate the following integral by first converting to an integral in cylindrical coordinates. \[\int_{{ - 4}}^{4}{{\int_{0}^{{\sqrt {16 - {y^{\,2}}} }}{{\int_{0}^{{6 + x}}{{\,\,\,6y{x^2}\,\,dz}}\,dx}}\,dy}}\]
  11. Evaluate the following integral by first converting to an integral in cylindrical coordinates. \[\int_{0}^{3}{{\int_{{ - \sqrt {9 - {x^{\,2}}} }}^{{\sqrt {9 - {x^{\,2}}} }}{{\int_{{ - \sqrt {2{x^{\,2}} + 2{y^{\,2}}} }}^{{6 + {x^{\,2}} + {y^{\,2}}}}{{\,\,\,15z\,\,dz}}\,dy}}\,dx}}\]
  12. Use a triple integral in cylindrical coordinates to derive the volume of a cylinder of height \(h\) and radius \(a\).
