5. (a) Find the center of mass of the solid S bounded by the paraboloid z = 4x2 + 4y 2
and the plane z = 1 if S has constant density K.
Solution. In cylindrical coordinates the region E is described by
0 r 1/2, 0 2, and 4r2 z 1
Thus, the mass of the solid is

Similarly, the other two moments are Mxz = Myz = 0. We have Mxy /M = 2/3.
Hence, the center of mass is (0, 0, 2/3).
(b) Find the mass of a ball given by x2 + y 2 + z 2 a2 if the density at any point is
proportional to its distance from the z-axis.
Solution. In spherical coordinates the region E is described by
0 a, 0 2, 0 .
The density is k sin , where k is a constant. Hence, the mass is
