Homework Statement



A hemispherical piece of ore of radius a contains flakes of gold. The flat base
of the ore is in the x, y plane and its curved surface is in the region z > 0,
where x, y, z are cartesian co-ordinates with origin at the centre of the base.
The gold density is kz kg m−3, where k is a constant. What is the total mass
of gold in the ore?
