SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating the mass of a torus defined by the equation r=2sin(φ) in spherical coordinates, where the density is given by ρ=φ. The volume of the torus is determined using the triple integral formula: ∫(θ=0 to 2π) ∫(φ=0 to 2π) ∫(0 to f(θ, φ)) r² sin(θ) dr dθ dφ. The mass is then calculated using the integral: ∫(θ=0 to 2π) ∫(φ=0 to 2π) ∫(0 to f(θ, φ)) ρ(r, θ, φ) r² sin(θ) dr dθ dφ, which incorporates the specified density function.
