Solid bounded by the cylinder (y^2) + (z^2) = 1 , cut by pla

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The problem involves evaluating a triple integral of the form ∫ ∫ ∫ zDv over a solid G, which is defined by the cylinder (y^2) + (z^2) = 1 and is cut by the planes y = x, x = 0, and z = 0. Participants are exploring the geometric interpretation of the solid and its boundaries.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss the shape and boundaries of the solid, questioning how the planes intersect with the cylinder and the implications for the solid's volume. There are inquiries about the limits of integration and the use of cylindrical coordinates.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants providing insights into the geometric configuration of the solid. Some have attempted to visualize the solid and clarify the role of the bounding planes, while others are questioning the appropriateness of their coordinate system and integral setup.

Contextual Notes

There are mentions of confusion regarding the projection of the solid onto different planes and the implications for using cylindrical coordinates. Participants are also addressing the constraints imposed by the first octant and the nature of the solid's base.

Homework Statement


By using cylindrical coordinate , evaluate ∫ ∫ ∫ zDv , where G is the solid bounded by the cylinder (y^2) + (z^2) = 1 , cut by plane of y = x , x = 0 and z = 0

I can understand that the solid formed , was cut by x = 0 , thus the base of the solid formed has circle of (y^2) + (z^2) = 1 as base …
The solid formed also cut at z= 0 , does it mean that the sold formed has a base of circle from 0 to π only ?

Your sketch of the region G is not very helpful in seeing what the shape looks like.

No. The solid region G is only in the first octant. When you say "from 0 to π only" which angle coordinate do you mean, ##\theta## or ##\phi##?

why the solid region G is only in the first octant ? i can't visualise it . Can you explain ?

The cylinder ##y^2 + z^2 = 1## has its central axis along the x-axis. The bounding planes are x = 0 (the y-z plane), z = 0 (the x-y plane) and the plane y = x. For this last plane draw the line y = x in the x-y plane, and then extend the line up, keeping it parallel to the original line.

Your sketch wasn't detailed enough to do much good (the cylinder should be shown larger), plus you had you axes labeled in an unusual way. That might be throwing you off.

from my sketch of diagram , i found that my xy-pane and plane y = x are actually the same plane , so i couldn't imagine the solid formed... what i have in mind now is the y=x plane and the base with circle radius = 1 only ...

thanks for the digram , but , why the y = x plane is limited to first quadrant only ? it can be drawn to up to the plane of positive x and negative y direction , right ?

No.
The base of the solid is a triangle. The back side of the solid is the plane x = 0. The front of the solid is the plane y = x. The top is the curved part of the cylinder. The solid itself looks something like half of an orange segment.

Why the plane y =x is limited to first octant only ? Can't it be stretched until negative x and y axis?

ok , so the limit is
## \int_{0}^{0.5\pi} \int_{0}^1 z \, dx \, rdrd\theta## ?'
if so , then my ans is -1/8 ...Did my ans match yours?

The answer shouldn't be negative, and you're supposed to set up an integral usingcylindrical coordinates: r ##\theta##, and z.

since i project the solid to zy plane , so the third integral should be dx , am i right ?

No. Neither x nor y should appear in your integral. Also, I don't know why you think you need to project the solid to the y-z plane.

I project the solid to the y-z plane so that i could use cylindrical coordinate solve the problem , btw when i project it to zy plane , here's what i gt ...
i change z and y to the terms in cylindrical coordinate , the original question is find ∫ ∫ ∫ zDv

That's not right. In cylindrical coordinates, ##\theta## is an angle in the x-y plane, not in the y-z plane. You need to look at what's going on in the x-y plane.

IMO , the zy plane also can use cylindrical , as long as lines on any 2 axis can form a circle , then we can use cylindrical coordinate

I don't know why you would want to do that. Cartesian coordinates are (x, y, z). Cylindrical coordinates are (##r, \theta, z##). If you change the axis that ##\theta## is measured from, you will need to make corresponding changes in the equation of the cylinder and the bounding planes.

ya , i already make that changes in post #11 and my diagram of projection to zy-plane in post #15 , is my concept correct ?

P/s : it's clear that the circle lies on positive/negative y and z axis ... SO , i can use z = rcos theta and y = r sintheta and vice versa , right ?

Here's what you wrote in post #11:

I already said this is wrong in post #12. For one thing, your integral has dx (shouldn't be there), dr, and ##d\theta##. For another, the integral should be a triple integral, not a double integral as you show.

Finally, no, I haven't worked the integral, but if you're calculating volume, as you are in this problem, you shouldn't get a negative number.

since the circle lies on the zy plane , so i can change the cylindrical coordinate to ( r , θ , x ) , right ? it's just looking at the problem from another point of view , right ? ( for example when the circle lies on the xy -plane , we would use ( r , θ , z )

Sorry , after making correction , my ans ## \int_{0}^{0.5\pi} \int_{0}^1 z \, dx \, rdrd\theta## is 1/ 8

dx r dr dtheta is triple integral , right ?

It's possible to do this, but as I said before, your bounding planes are going to be different. The plane y = x, in Cartesian coordinates, is ##\theta = \pi/4## in cylindrical coordinates. If you change your coordinates to (r, θ, x), then you will have a different equation for the plane y = x.

This is not a triple integral.

sorry , i made the typo again . my final working is ## \int_{0}^{0.5\pi} \int_{0}^1 \int_{0}^y z \, dx \, rdrd\theta## is 1/ 8

As you can see , i use y = x for the limit...I didnt use y = x

Is the answer to this problem in your book?

I don't see how you can make the integral above turn out to 1/8. Please show me your work. In this case, it's OK to take a picture of it, and add it as an attachment, provided that your work is neat enough to read.

I get 1/8 as my answer, but I didn't change the meaning of the cylindrical coordinates.

Your work looks OK to me.

Here's the way I did it, without changing all the coordinates around.
The z values range from z = 0 to ##z = \sqrt{1 - y^2} = \sqrt{1 - r^2 \sin^2(\theta)}##.
The r values range from r = 0 to the line y = 1 in the x-y plane, so from r = 0 to ##r\sin(\theta) = 1##, which is equiv. to ##r = \csc(\theta)##
The ##\theta## values range from ##\pi/4## to ##\pi/2##.
The integral I start with is:
$$\int_{\theta = \pi/4}^{\pi/2} ~\int_{r = 0}^{\csc(\theta)} ~\int_{z = 0}^{\sqrt{1 - r^2 \sin^2(\theta)}}~zr~dz~dr~d\theta$$
This looks forbidding, but it's actually pretty simple, and ends up with a value of 1/8.

ok , thanks for the working ... Is it wrong with my working above ? Can i do it in the way above ?
