Wondering if someone could help me get this answer. I don't get spherical coordinates at all.

The volume of the region given in spherical coordinates by the inequalities
3 less than or equal to rho less than or equal to 5
0 less than or equal to phi less than or equal to pi/6
-pi/6 less than or equal to theta less than or equal to pi/6
is filled with uniform material. Find the x-coordinate of the centre of mass.

Thanks for any help.
