AI Thread Summary
To solve the triple integral using spherical coordinates, the integral is set up as SSS drdtdp divided by the expression involving r, t, and p. The user attempted to transform the coordinates but made an error in the definition of z in spherical coordinates, which should be z = rcos(p) instead of z = rcos(p) + 1. The correct limits for r, t, and p are established, but both the user and another participant express difficulty in solving the resulting integral. The discussion highlights the need for clarification on the correct transformation and integration process. Further assistance is required to complete the integration.

how can i calculate this integral value :
SSSdxdydz/(x^2+y^2+z^2)
at the area: x^2+y^2+(z-1)^2<=1

thats what i tried - i got double integral that i don't know how to solve
i tried to use the ball cordinations
x=rcos(t)sin(p)
y=rsin(t)sin(p)
z=rcos(p)+1
j=rsin^2(p)
0<=r<=1
0<=t<2pi
0<=p<=pi

i get:

SSS drdtdp/[r^2cos^2(t)sin^2(p)+r^2sin^2(t)sin^2(p)+(rcos(p)+1)^2]
0<=r<=1
0<=t<2pi
0<=p<=pi

SSS drdtdp/[r^2sin^2(p)+r^2cos^2(p)+2rcos(p)+1]

2pi * SS drdp/[r^2+2rcos(p)+1]

what's next?

You have an error :
the spherical coordinate is:
x=rcos(t)sin(p)
y=rsin(t)sin(p)
z=rcos(p)
only!

my transformation deals with the area that the integral works on
urs deals with the integrand , both ways i don't know how to solve the integral
that we get
 
Thread 'Struggling to make relation between elastic force and height'
Hello guys this is what I tried so far. I used the UTS to calculate the force it needs when the rope tears. My idea was to make a relationship/ function that would give me the force depending on height. Yeah i couldnt find a way to solve it. I also thought about how I could use hooks law (how it was given to me in my script) with the thought of instead of having two part of a rope id have one singular rope from the middle to the top where I could find the difference in height. But the...
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
