MATH 20550 Triple Integrals in cylindrical and spherical coordinates Fall 2016

1.Coordinates

1.1.Cylindrical coordinates.(r;;z)7!(x;y;z)

x=rcos y=rsin z=z Cylindrical coordinates are just polar coordinates in the plane andz. Useful formulas r=px 2+y2 tan=yx ;x6= 0;x= 0 =)=2 These are just the polar coordinate useful formulas. Cylindrical coordinates are useful for describing cylinders. r=f()z>0 is the cylinder above the plane polar curver=f(). r

2+z2=a2

is the sphere of radiusacentered at the origin. r=mz m >0 andz>0 is the cone of slopemwith cone point at the origin.

1.2.Spherical coordinates.(;;)7!(x;y;z)

x=cossin y=sinsin z=cos

Useful formulas

=px

2+y2+z2

sin=px 2+y2 tan=yx ;x6= 0;x= 0 =)=2 tan=px 2+y2z ;z6= 0;z= 0 =)=2 You can also change spherical coordinates into cylindrical coordinates. z=cos r=sin 1 2

Standard graphs in spherical coordinates:

=a is the sphere of radiusacentered at the origin. =c is the cone of slope tan(c) with cone point at the origin. =c is the vertical plane over the liney= tan(c)x. cos=c is the planez=c. = 2dcos is the sphere of radiusjdjcentered at (0;0;d). = 2dcossin is the sphere of radiusjdjcentered at (d;0;0). = 2dsinsin is the sphere of radiusjdjcentered at (0;d;0).

Indeed,

= 2acossin+ 2bsinsin+ 2ccos is the sphere of radiuspa

2+b2+c2centered at (a;b;c).

2.Triple integrals

As usual, the goal is to evaluate some triple integral over some solid in space. If the solid isS, then ZZZ S f dV does not depend on any particular coordinate system (which is why I have not writtenf(x;y;z)). All you have to be able to do is to evaluatefat points inS(no matter how the points are described to you) and to compute the volume of the pieces into which you have partitionedS. Maybef is given to you in Cartesian coordinates,f(x;y;z), or maybe in terms of cylindrical coordinates, f(r;;z), or maybe in terms of spherical coordinates,f(;;). Given a formula in one coordinate system you can work out formulas forfin other coordinate systems but behind the scenes you are just evaluating a function,f, at a pointp2S. If you use a dierent coordinate system, the formula forflooks dierent but it is still the same function. If we agree on a pointp2Sand all go o and use our various formulas, we will all get the same number for the value offat that point. Aside:Remember that when we rst introduced the triple integral weestimatedthe triple integral just given a verbal description ofSand a table of values forf. We partitionedSso that in each piece we could choose one of the points from our table and then we wrote down the Riemann sum and that was our approximation. 3

2.1.Cylindrical coordinates.Suppose we have describedSin terms of cylindrical coordinates.

This means that we have a solidCin (r;;z) space and when we mapCinto space using cylindrical coordinates we getS. If we cutCup into little boxes we get little slices of pie in space soZZZ C f jrjdV=ZZZ S f dV

To use this formula usefully we will need to be able to evaluatefat points given to us in cylindrical

coordinates.

2.2.Spherical coordinates.Suppose we have describedSin terms of spherical coordinates. This

means that we have a solid in (;;) space and when we map into space using spherical coordinates we getS. If we cut up into little boxes we get little pieces in space as described in the book ZZZ f2jsinjdV=ZZZ S f dV To use this formula usefully we will need to be able to evaluatefat points given to us in spherical coordinates. 4
