Surface integrals - parametrizing a part of a sphere

[Feodalherren]

Homework Statement

Find the area of the part of the sphere x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 4z
that lies inside the paraboloid x^2 + y^2 = z

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

I solved for the intercepts and found that they are z=0 and z=3.
The sphere is centered two units in the z-direction above the origin.

Hence I wanted to switch to spherical coordinates and got:

0≤Θ≤2∏
ρ=2

Now, since we know that the sphere is centered on (0,0,2) we can take find the angle from the Z axis easily.

(∏/3)≤Φ≤∏.

The Surface Area of this portion of the sphere should then become
\int^{2∏}_{0} \int^{∏}_{∏/3} 4SinΦ dΦdΘ
<br /> \int^{2∏}_{0} \int_{∏/3}_{∏} 4SinΦ dΦdΘ<br />

I get 12∏, which is incorrect. The correct answer is 4∏. Where am I going wrong?

That itex thing never works for me either :/

Nevermind I solved it. I was taking the wrong portion of the curve.

In the tex, don't use special characters; instead use the tex code for them. Quote this to see how I changed your code.$$
\int_0^{2\pi}\int_{\pi/3}^{\pi} 4\sin\theta d\phi d\theta$$
