Homework Statement



Find the smaller volume bound by cone z=r and sphere z^2+y^2+x^2=4 using cylindrcal coordinates

Homework Equations



dV=r-dr d-theta dz

The Attempt at a Solution



Limits on r: z to sqrt (4-z^2)
limits on theta: 2pi to 0
limits on z: 2-0

Did this and got 8 pi, not the same answer with spherical.
Need guidance on limits.

Hi Unemployed! :smile:

(have a theta: θ and a pi: π and a square-root: √ and try using the X2 icon just above the Reply box :wink:)

For r = 0 to √2 ?
 
No, the limit for r will still depend on z, but linearly instead of "curvily". :wink:
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
