2. Homework Equations

V r2Sinθdθdφdr in spherical coordinates
V dxdydz in cartesian coordinates
equation of a sphere x2+y2+z2=r2

The Attempt at a Solution


In this case y=(y-2): sphere displaced on the y-axis. and since it is bound by all planes its going to be one quarter of a sphere. I don't get the part where the question says translate the origin to the shape centre, how can I do this? and also I need someone to check my limits of integration. I attached my answer.
