i'm sorry i mean hemi-sphere of : sqrt[x^2+y^2+(z-a)^2] = R
 
I think there are mistakes between line 3 and 4. Where did you get the subtraction from? Shouldn't it be a multiplication? Also the cosine values seem wrong. And finally, why did you stop at the easiest of all integrals at the end ##\int r^2dr## from ##r= 0## to ?
 
Please do not open more than one thread with the same topic, especially if the two are both ambiguous: with or without cone, what is ##a## needed for and what is ##r## in your other thread. Furthermore, do not delete the homework template, use it! It makes reading a lot easier and if you delete it, it can be viewed as disrespectful to those who are willing to answer.
