Homework Statement
a)parametrize the upper surface of that portion of the sphere x^2 + y^2 +z^2 = 4 contained within the cylinder, x^2 + y^2 = 2y
b)find the area of the surface
Homework Equations
how to find the range for phi. for paramaetrizing into spherical coordinates
The Attempt at a Solution
a) because its a sphere i tried parmetrizing into spherical coordinates
and thus
X (u,v) = (2sinucosv, 2sinusinv,2cosu)
u,v = [0,?]x[0,2pi]
I've tried substuting the eq of the cylinder into the eq of the sphere but i ended up with
z^2 = 4-2y => (4 - 4sinusinv)^0.5
which isn't very helpful in finding the ranges of U
b) without finding the ranges for u, I won't be able to use the formula doubleint ||Xu x Xv|| du dv
but i can try A(S) = double int (1 + ||gradF||^2)^0.5 dx dy
i can have F = (4-x^2 - y^2)^0.5 and D == x^2 + y^2 - 2y <=0
looks like polar coordinates would be best so i set
x = r cos u
y = r sin u
r,u = [0,2sinu] x [0, 2pi]
and thus end up with an integral of
int ( 2/ (4 - r^2)^0.5 dr du
but this will give me an integral of
int 2 *( [arcsin (r/2)] from 0 to rsin ) du which is not an integral i would like to solve.
