I'm having difficulties with a problem from my Calculus IV course. The problem states:
My book has exactly one example even close to problem, and we didn't go over any other examples in class, so I'm a bit confused. This is the double integral I came up with, but I think it's wrong.
\(\displaystyle \int _0^{2\pi }\int _0^1\:\:r\cdot \left(\sqrt{1-r^2}-h\right)drd\theta \)
Specifically, the fact that h is bounded between 0 and 1 is what's giving me grief. What does that mean in the context of this problem, and how can I account for it in my integral?
In exercises 47-56, use polar coordinates to find an iterated integral that represents the volume of the solid described and then find the volume of the solid.
52) The region bounded above by the unit sphere centered at the origin, and bounded below by the plane z = h, where 0 <= h <= 1
