    How to Determine the Centroid of a Solid Using Cylindrical Coordinates?

    Yes I discarded the imaginary solution, I have no problem solving the integrals. I only had trouble identifying the upper limit of r. Would you say that the way I solved for r was a correct solution?

    How to Determine the Centroid of a Solid Using Cylindrical Coordinates?

    So what I did was found out the value of z at the intersection point by equating both surfaces in terms of r, which led z to be either -2 or 1. When inputting z =1 i get r to also be 1 The centroid in the z direction will thus be 0 ∫2pi 0 ∫1 r2 ∫ √(2-r2) z ⋅ r dz dr dθ all divided by the...

    Parametric Equation of Surface

    That's how the book stated the problem, I understood it as the cylinder created when the circle x2 + y2 = 5 is extended between z=0 and z=1

    Parametric Equation of Surface

    Thanks for the input, I looked into it and found that v was the varying parameter, converting x and y to polar coordinates gave me the answer. Thanks again

    Solving Integral of (9-4x^2)^1/2 with Substitution Method

    Hey everyone, I'm currently studying for Calc 3 and came across this integral that his been racking my brain beyond insanity. I know the solution is easier than it is. I have looked online and come across substituting to have x=2sin(theta). I also came across a step where you substitute u for...
