in the xy-plane|dw:1352144919394:dw|$-\sqrt{r^2-y^2}\le x\le\sqrt{r^2-y^2}$in the yz-plane|dw:1352145089843:dw|$-\sqrt{r^2-y^2}\le z\le\sqrt{r^2-y^2}$leaving$-r\le y\le r$hm...

3. TuringTest Group Title

in the xz-plane the intersection is square with sides=2r|dw:1352145471598:dw|

I think the integral is$\iint\limits_Dr\sin\theta dA=\int_0^{2\pi}\int_0^r r^2\sin\theta drd\theta$can you check somewhow?

5. TuringTest Group Title

actually it would have to be$\iint\limits_Dr\sin\theta dA=2\int_0^\pi\int_0^r r^2\sin\theta drd\theta$to avoid getting zero

6. math1234 Group Title

But the integrand should be r^2 * cos(theta) ?

7. math1234 Group Title

since i am integrating z = sqrt(z^2-y^2)

8. math1234 Group Title

so in polar i thought it was sqrt(r^2-y^2) = x = rcos(theta)

9. TuringTest Group Title

yeah I just came to that conclusion as well

10. TuringTest Group Title

I guess I was right the first time

11. math1234 Group Title

but if I integrate with rcos(theta), I end up with zero in the end

12. math1234 Group Title

I will get sin(2*pi) - sin(0) = 0.

13. TuringTest Group Title

Hm.. now I am not sure again. No way to check I presume...
