(2) (Problem 5.4, Problem 14) Evaluate the volume integral (triple
integral) of f (x, y, z) = x2 over S, where S is the solid bounded
by the paraboloids z = x2 + y 2 and z = 8 − x2 − y 2 .
Solution:

Figure 1. Region S bounded above by paraboloid z =
8−x2 −y 2 and below by paraboloid z = x2 +y 2. Surfaces
intersect on the curve x2 + y 2 = 4 = z. So boundary of
the projected region R in the x − y plane is x2 + y 2 = 4.
Where the two surfaces intersect z = x2 + y 2 = 8 − x2 − y 2.
So, 2x2 + 2y 2 = 8 or x2 + y 2 = 4 = z, this is the curve at
the intersection of the two surfaces. Therefore, the boundary
of projected region R in the x − y plane is given by the circle
x2 + y 2 = 4. So R can be treated as a y simple region in the

(3) (Section 5.4, Problem 18) Find the volume of the indicated solid
region S inside the cylinders x2 + y 2 = a2 and x2 + z 2 = a2 .
Solution: Consider only the part of S that lies in the region
x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0, z ≥ 0 From symmetry of the region under the
transformation x → −x, y → −y and z → −z, it follows that
the volume of this region S1 is V8 , where V is the volume of S.
We treat S1 as an x-simple region in 3-D.

Note that the projection of region S1 on the y − z plane,
call it R is a a square 0 ≤ y ≤ a, 0 ≤ z ≤ a. We break
up R into two region R1 = {(y, z) : a ≥ y ≥ z ≥ 0, } and R2 =
{(y, z) : a ≥ z >py ≥ 0}. In region (y, z) ∈ R1 , x-ranges

(4) (Section 5.4, Problem 24). Find the centroid of the given solid
bounded by the paraboloids z = 1 + x2 + y 2 and z = 5 − x2 − y 2
with density proportional to the distnace from the z = 5 plane.
Solution: From the problem statement, density ρ = k|z − 5| =
k(5−z) since region is below plane z = 5. The plot of the region
S between the two paraboloids is similar to (Secion 5.4, Problem
14 ) we have solved above, whose projection R in the x−y plane
is bounded by the curve given by 1 + x2 + y 2 = 5 − x2 − y 2, or
x2 + y 2 = 2. So, we have mass

Solution: Since y ranges from 0 to y = 3 1 − x2 − z 4 /4, we
2
2
have the upper surface y9 + x2 + z4 = 1, which is an ellipsoid.
We also note that the projectedpregion R in the x − z plane has
goes between x = 0 and x = 1 − z 2 /4, the latter being the
boundary of an ellipse, while z ranges from 0 to 2. Therefore,
it is clear that the region S is the first octant of an ellipsoid
2
2
bounded by x2 + y9 + z4 = 1.
Treating S as a z-simple
q region, we have lower surface z = 0
and upper-surface z = 2 1 − x2 −
y2
.
9
The projected region in
2
the x − y is the the inside of the ellipse x2 + y9 = 1 in the first
quadrant, which may be described as a y-simple region in the
2-D x − y plane:

RR
the integral
zdV is positive, negative or 0, where S is the
S
solid bounded by the paraboloid z = −x2 − y 2 and the plane
z = −4.

Solution: Note from the description of the region
R R R that f (x, y, z) =
z < 0 in S. Therefore, from theorem 4.5.3,
zdV < 0.
