AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on solving a complex double integral using cylindrical coordinates. The original integral involves the expression (y^2 z^2 + z^2 x^2 + x^2 y^2) over a specified region. A substitution of variables is suggested, specifically using x = r*cos(θ) and y = r*sin(θ), which leads to a transformed integral. Further simplification and integration with respect to u, followed by evaluating the limits, yield the final result. The final answer is expressed in terms of π, demonstrating the successful resolution of the integral.

Hi
I've been working on a problem and I'm nearly there but I'm struggling with the integration part at the end and was hoping you might be able to help if you have the time. The original question was

\int \int (y^2 z^2 + z^2 x^2 + x^2 y^2) \: dS
Evaluated on the region of z^2 = x^2 + y^2 between z=1 and z=2.

Then by substituting in x=r*cos(θ) and y=r*sin(θ), and multiplying by 'r' (the Jacobian determinant), I got \sqrt{2} \int_{0}^{2\pi} \int_{1}^{2}(r^5 + r^3 \cos(\theta)^2 \sin(\theta)^2) \: dr \: d\theta

and then I'm stuck. Any help or advice would really be appreciated
Thanks

!For this integral, you can use the substitution u = r^2. This will give us: \sqrt{2} \int_{0}^{2\pi} \int_{1}^{4}(u^2 + u \cos(\theta)^2 \sin(\theta)^2) \: du \: d\thetaIntegrating with respect to u first will give us: \sqrt{2} \int_{0}^{2\pi} \left[\frac{u^3}{3} + \frac{u^2 \cos(\theta)^2 \sin(\theta)^2}{2}\right]_1^4 \: d\thetaEvaluating this integral and multiplying by \sqrt{2} will give us the final answer: \sqrt{2} \left[\frac{64}{3} + 8\sin(\theta)^2 \cos(\theta)^2\right]_0^{2\pi}The final answer is therefore: \sqrt{2} \left(\frac{64\pi}{3} + 16\pi\right)
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
