Find by double integration volume of sphere $x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = a^2$ cut off by the plane $z = 0$ and the cylinder $x^2 + y^2 = ax$.



I proceded like this :



$x = rcos(theta)$



$x = rsin(theta)$



$r^2 = x^2 + y^2 $



$V = int^ {pi /2}_0int^{acos(theta)}_a {(a^2-r^2)}^{1/2}r~drdtheta$



$V = int^ {pi /2}_0[ {(a^2-r^2)}^{3/2}]^{acos(theta)}_a~dtheta$



following the same path and solving the integral further I got certain ans. but it is wrong. I cant find out what is wrong. Please help.

          Your definition of $r$ is missing a square root. But that's probably just a typo. The lower limit of your inside integral should be $0$, not $a$.



          But we can't really tell you what you did wrong if you don't post the bit of your work that you think is wrong.

          • why the lower limit should be 0 and not a? I thought this for a while earlier

          • If the lower limit is $a$ then the lower limit is larger than the upper limit. $r$ ranges from the origin out to the tangent circle $r=acos theta.$
