# Find the volume bounded by the paraboloid $x^2+y^2=az$, the cylinder $x^2+y^2=2ay$ and the plane $z=0$

Find the volume bounded by the paraboloid $x^2+y^2=az$, the cylinder $x^2+y^2=2ay$ and the plane $z=0$

My work

Changing to cylindrical coordinates

For Paraboloid

$$x^2+y^2=az\;\;\;\implies r^2=az\;\;\;\implies z=\frac{r^2}{a}$$

For the cylinder

$$x^2+y^2=2ay\;\;\;\implies r=2a \sin \theta$$

Since this volume lies only in first two quadrants $\theta$ goes from $0$ to $\pi$

Volume=$\int_{\theta=0}^{\pi}\int_{r=0}^{2a\sin \theta}\int_{z=0}^{r^2/a}r\ dr\ d\theta \ dz$

• Well, $y\in[0..2a], x\in[-\sqrt{2ay-y^2}..\sqrt{2ay-y^2}], z\in[0..(x^2+y^2)/a]$ but a change of variables might be better. – Graham Kemp Aug 19 '17 at 9:25

Using cylinder coordinate is the best way to solve this problem : $$\left\{(r\cos\theta ,r\sin\theta +a ,z)\mid \theta \in [0,2\pi], r\in[0,a], z\in \left[0,\frac{2r^2+2ar\sin \theta+a^2}{a}\right]\right\}.$$
• @user467745 : Something as $y\in [0,2a]$, $x\in [-\sqrt{2a-(y-1)^2},\sqrt{2a-(y-1)^2}]$ and $z\in [0, \frac{x^2}{a}+\frac{y^2}{a}]$. – Surb Aug 19 '17 at 9:25
• Just to cross check-the answer would be $\pi a^3$, right? – user467745 Aug 19 '17 at 10:27
