    Two spheres mass of inertia multivariable calculus problem

    Homework Statement Let R be the solid region that is bounded by two spheres x^2 + y^2 + z^2=1 and x^2 + y^2 + z^2=2. Determine the moment of inertia of R around the x-axis if the mass density per unit volume of R is u=sqrt(x^2 + y^2 + z^2). Homework Equations Moment of Inertia around the...

    Multivariable calculus mass density question

    yeah that makes sense, thanks for that, because of that i would only need to integrate once then and hence got x=3cost and y=3sint where -pi/2<t<2pi and then the integral: 9cos^2(theta) + 12sin(theta) dt where -pi/2<t<2pi and solving this would get you 45pi/4 -12, would this be correct or would...

    Multivariable calculus mass density question

    i'm not sure to be honest i thought it would be a two-dimensional object as it would have both a x and y direction but i am probably wrong, if it is a one dimensional object, how would i go about solving this problem?, would it just be x=3cost and y=3sint where -pi/2<t<2pi and hence you would...

    Double integral change of variable polar coordinates question

    the answer in the question booklet is pi*sinh(2)/4 not pi*sinh(2)/4sqrt(15), do u think there could be an error in the question booklet?

    Is Compressive Strength of Concrete Inversely Proportional to Surface Area?

    Hi, as the compressive strength of concrete formula is max load applied/ surface area, could you say that the compressive strength of concrete is inversely proportional to it's surface area or this would make no sense as the concrete with a smaller surface would have a smaller max load anyway...

    Vector Calculus Identites Question

    thanks for the reply, doing that i got: ∇f(r)=(x/√(x^2+y^2+z^2),y/√(x^2+y^2+z^2),z/√(x^2+y^2+z^2)) but i am still confused as to prove ∇f=df/drR⃗, what is df/dr is that the f(r) function being derived in terms of r (the length) and then i have to multiply it by R vector. Thanks again...
