  • Suppose z=f(x,y) is a function of (x^2+y^2) only. Assume that f(x,y)>=0 as long as (x^2+y^2) >= a^2. Calculate the volume of the solid formed by the surface with height z=f(x,y) over the region (x^2+y^2) <= a^2, in two different ways:
    1. Integrate a system of cylindrical shells of thickness "dr", height z and circumference 2*pi*r.
    2. Use Pappus' theorem.
    Then show that these two approaches give the same answer.
