Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



I get 16pi/3 (sqrt(2) -1) as the final result, but when I input the answer to the computer, it doesn't accept it. Am I doing a wrong integration/calculation anywhere? I double checked and I can't to find anything wrong.

oh so it should be 32pi/3 then.. thanks for pointing out the silly mistake
 
You went from
[tex]-\frac{1}{3}\left(4^{3}{2}-8^{3}{2})-\frac{8}{3}[/tex]
to
[tex]\frac{16}{3}(\sqrt{2}-1)[/tex]
instead of
[tex]\frac{8}{3}(2\sqrt{2}-1)[/tex]
