Find the surface area of the part of the sphere x2 + y2 + z2 = 81 that lies above the cone z = √(x2 + y2)
Solution:
We need to find the surface area of the portion of the sphere x2 + y2 + z2 = 81 above z = √ (x2 + y2)
z=√(x2 + y2) can be written as x2 + y2 = z2
Now, x2 + y2 + z2 = 81 can be written as
z2 = 81 - x2 - y2
z = √(81 - x2 - y2)
Taking first derivative,
f(x) = -x/√(81 - x2 - y2)
f(y) = -y/√(81 - x2 - y2)
The formula to find surface area is given by
dS = ∬√(1 + [f(x)]2 + [f(y)]2)
Converting to polar,
Parameterize the part of the sphere by
s(u,v) = (9 cos u sin v, 9 sin u sin v 9 cos v)
With 0 ≤ u ≤ 2𝜋 and 0 ≤ v ≤ 𝜋/4.
Now, dS = ∥su×sv∥
dS = 81 sin v du dv
So, the area S is given by
\(\\\int \int ds=81\int_{v=0}^{v=\pi /4}\int_{u=0}^{u=2\pi }sin v du dv \\ \\\int \int ds=81\int_{v=0}^{v=\pi /4}2\pi sin v dv \\ \\\int \int ds=81(2\pi)\int_{v=0}^{v=\pi /4} sin v dv\)
∬dS = 81(2𝜋)(1 - 1/√2)
On simplification,
∬dS = 162𝜋(1 - 1/√2)
= 162𝜋 - 162𝜋/√2
= 162𝜋 - 81√2𝜋
Taking out common term,
∬dS = 𝜋(162 - 81√2)
Therefore, surface area of the part of the sphere is 𝜋(162 - 81√2).
Find the surface area of the part of the sphere x2 + y2 + z2 = 81 that lies above the cone z = √ (x2 + y2)
Summary:
The surface area of the portion of the sphere x2 + y2 + z2 = 81 above the cone z = √ (x2 + y2) is 𝜋(162 - 81√2).
