Hi,

I am not really sure whether its over the surface of the sphere or the Volume,

the problem and the solution are given below, I want to know how it has been solved.
The \delta_{0} is the dirac delta function.

\[<br /> \underset{\left|\underline{\xi}\right|=1}{\int}\delta_{0}\left(\underline{\xi}\cdot\underline{z}\right)dS_{\xi}=\intop_{0}^{2\pi}d\varphi\intop_{-r}^{+r}\delta_{0}\left(\varsigma\right)\frac{d\varsigma}{r}=\frac{2\pi}{r}\]<br />

the following variable substitution has been made,

\[<br /> \varsigma=\underline{\xi}\cdot\underline{z}=rcos\theta\]<br />

Thanx a lot.

hey,

I Just got it,

I used this substitution.

<br /> \[<br /> \intop_{0}^{\pi}\intop_{0}^{2\pi}f(cos\varphi sin\theta,sin\varphi sin\theta,cos\theta)sin\theta d\theta d\varphi\]

the radius that i used in the variable substitution is not the same as the unit radius.
