How Do I Set Up a Double Integral for a Cylinder's Volume in Polar Coordinates?

In summary, the conversation was about converting a region into polar coordinates and using a double integral to find the volume of a solid object. The region in question was a cylinder with a height of 4, and the integral was set up correctly with a third integral for the height. The formula for the volume of a cylinder was also mentioned as a way to verify the result.

Homework Statement


I want to convert this into polar and use double integral to find the volume of the solid in this region. I just need help setting this up
region
Q: x^2+y^2≤9, 0≤z≤4
I know this is a cylinder with a height of 4.
I am just having trouble incorporating this height into the integral.

The Attempt at a Solution


∫_0^2π▒〖∫_0^3▒4 r〗 drd(theta)
this is currently what I have

"integral from 0 to 2pi" then integral 0 to 3. then 4 rdrdθ

This is correct.
There is a cylinder with height 4. When using a double integral to find the volume of a solid object, you can set it up with the "Top - Bottom" as the function to integrate. This can also be done by adding in a third integral and integrating 1.
[itex] \int_0^{2\pi} \int_0^3 \int_0^4 (1)dV [/itex], where [itex]dV[/itex] is [itex]rdzdrd\theta[/itex].
[itex] =\int_0^{2\pi} \int_0^3 (4) (r)drd\theta [/itex]
You can also check this by using the formula for the volume of a cylinder which is [itex]\pi r^2h[/itex]

FAQ: How Do I Set Up a Double Integral for a Cylinder's Volume in Polar Coordinates?

What is the definition of "volume of solid in region"?

The volume of solid in region refers to the amount of space that a three-dimensional object takes up within a specific region or boundary.

How is the volume of solid in region calculated?

The volume of solid in region is typically calculated using integral calculus. The object's dimensions and the boundaries of the region are used to set up the integral, which is then solved to find the volume.

What are the units of measurement for volume of solid in region?

The units of measurement for volume of solid in region depend on the units used for the object's dimensions. For example, if the object's dimensions are measured in meters, then the volume will be measured in cubic meters (m3).

What are some real-world applications of calculating volume of solid in region?

Calculating volume of solid in region is used in many fields, such as engineering, architecture, and physics. It can be used to determine the amount of material needed for construction projects, analyze fluid flow in pipes, and calculate the mass of an object.

Are there any limitations to calculating volume of solid in region?

Calculating volume of solid in region assumes that the object is continuous and has a consistent density throughout. It may not be accurate for objects with irregular shapes or varying densities.
