Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around solving an advanced math problem, with participants checking the correctness of equations and exploring potential simplifications using different coordinate systems. The scope includes mathematical reasoning and problem-solving techniques.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related, Mathematical reasoning, Exploratory

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses uncertainty about their equations and seeks confirmation from others.
  • Some participants affirm that the original poster is on the right track with their approach.
  • The original poster mentions that while the integrals are not complicated, the solution involves complex functions like arcsin.
  • A suggestion is made regarding the use of cylindrical coordinates to potentially simplify the problem.
  • A hint is provided about the relationship between polar coordinates and circular equations.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree that the original poster is on the right track, but there is no consensus on whether switching to cylindrical coordinates will simplify the problem.

Contextual Notes

There are unresolved assumptions regarding the specific nature of the problem and the definitions of the equations being discussed.

Hello to all,
I'm solving one interesting problem that basically tailor to the problem in attachment.
I'm pretty much sure I'm on the right track, but my knowledge of math became little rusty since colledge, so I need to ask fo confirmation.
Please have a look and tell me if I wrote these equation correctly.

Thank you

Thank you, I was sure I'm on the right track. However I got integrals which are not so complicated but solution is rather complicated (arcsin and similar). I wondew if problem is easier with cilindrical coordinates...
