Triple Integrals in Cylindrical Coordinates
The rectangular conversion equations for cylindrical
coordinates are
x = r cos θ
y = r sin θ
z = z.
In this coordinate system, the simplest
solid region is a cylindrical block
determined by
r1 ≤ r ≤ r2, θ1 ≤ θ ≤ θ2, z1 ≤ z ≤ z2
as shown in Figure 14.63.Figure 14.63

To obtain the cylindrical coordinate form of a triple integral, suppose that Q is a solid region whose projection R onto the xy-plane can be described in polar coordinates.
That is,
Q = {(x, y, z): (x, y) is in R, h1(x, y) ≤ z ≤ h2(x, y)}
and
R = {(r, θ): θ1 ≤ θ ≤ θ2, g1(θ) ≤ r ≤ g2(θ)}.

If f is a continuous function on the solid Q, you can write
the triple integral of f over Q as
where the double integral over R is evaluated in polar
coordinates. That is, R is a plane region that is either
r-simple or θ-simple. If R is r-simple, the iterated form of
the triple integral in cylindrical form is

To visualize a particular order of integration, it helps to view the iterated integral in terms of three sweeping motions—each adding another dimension to the solid.
For instance, in the order dr dθ dz, the first integration occurs in the r-direction as a point sweeps out a ray.
Then, as θ increases, the line sweeps out a sector.
Finally, as z increases, the sector sweeps out a solid wedge.

Because x2 + y2 + z2 = r2 + z2 = 4, the bounds on z are
Let R be the circular projection of the solid onto the rθ-plane.
Then the bounds on R are 0 ≤ r ≤ 2 sin θ and 0 ≤ θ ≤ π.

Triple Integrals in Spherical Coordinates
Triple integrals over spheres or cones are much easier to evaluate by converting to spherical coordinates.
23
The rectangular conversion equations
for spherical coordinates are
x = ρ sin cos θ
y = ρ sin sin θ
z = ρ sin .
In this coordinate system, the simplest
region is a spherical block determined by
{(ρ, θ, ): ρ1 ≤ ρ ≤ ρ2, θ1 ≤ θ ≤ θ2, 1 ≤ ≤ 2}
where ρ1 ≥ 0, θ2 – θ1 ≤ 2π, and 0 ≤ 1 ≤ 2 ≤ π,
as shown in Figure 14.68.
If (ρ, θ, ) is a point in the interior of such a block,
then the volume of the block can be approximated by
V ≈ ρ2 sin ρ θ

Using the usual process involving an inner partition,
summation, and a limit, you can develop the following
version of a triple integral in spherical coordinates for a
continuous function f defined on the solid region Q.
Triple Integrals in Spherical Coordinates
As in rectangular and cylindrical coordinates, triple integrals in spherical coordinates are evaluated with iterated integrals.
You can visualize a particular order of integration by viewing the iterated integral in terms of three sweeping motions—each adding another dimension to the solid.

Example 4 – Finding Volume in Spherical Coordinates
Find the volume of the solid region Q bounded below by
the upper nappe of the cone z2 = x2 + y2 and above
by the sphere x2 + y2 + z2 = 9, as shown in Figure 14.70.

27
Example 4 – Solution
In spherical coordinates, the equation of the sphere is
ρ2 = x2 + y2 + z2 = 9
Furthermore, the sphere and cone intersect when
(x2 + y2) + z2 = (z2) + z2 = 9
and, because z = ρ cos , it follows that
cone z2 = x2 + y2
