Homework Statement



f(x,y,z) = g(√(x^2 + y^2 + z^2))
g(t) = t-5
evaluate ∯ f(x,y,z)ds

where S is sphere x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 9


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



i don't know how to go about it. can someone help me with this, how to approach this from start to end. i will solve it, but i need to know the steps in doing it.

hi myfunkymaths! :smile:

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

uhh? isn't that just integrating r - 5 over the sphere r = 3 ? :confused:

so what function do i integrate twice? and with what bounds was it
 
but it's constant!
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
