Using spherical coordinates, find the volume.

Find the volume of the solid that lies in the first octant above the cone $z=sqrt{3(x^2+y^2)}$ and inside the sphere $$x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}=4z $$ using spherical coordinates:



So here is what I have done, I would honestly just like to make sure if I am doing this properly because normally the "cone" is written just as $z=sqrt{x^2+y^2}$.



$$int_{0}^{frac{pi}{6}} int_{0}^{2pi} int_{0}^{4{cos(phi)}} {rho}^2sin(phi) ,{rm d}{rho},{rm d}{theta}, {rm d}{phi}$$



$$= 2pi int_{0}^{frac{pi}{6}} sin(phi) , {rm d}phi , left[frac{rho^3}{3}right]_0^{4cos(phi)} = 2pi cdot 64 int_0^{frac{pi}{6}} sin(phi)left(frac{cos^3(phi)}{3}right) , {rm d}phi \ = - 2pi cdot 64 cdot frac{1}{3} left[frac{cos^4(phi)}{4}right]_0^{frac{pi}{6}} = - 2pi cdot 64 cdot frac{1}{3} cdot frac{1}{4}left[cos^4left(frac{pi}{6}right) - cos^4(0)right] = left(frac{14pi}{3}right) = frac{14pi}{3}$$

Your problem has azimuthal symmetry so I can immediately write:
$$I = int!!!int!!!int_Omega dxdydz =2pi int_{theta=0}^{theta_1}int_0^{r(theta)}r^2 sin theta dtheta= frac{2pi}{3} int_{theta=0}^{theta_1}(r(theta))^3 sin theta dtheta$$
The trick is to calculate what $theta_1$ is (where do the surfaces intersect?) And also the function $r(theta)$ which we can do via direct substitution.



$$x^2+y^2+z^2 = 4z$$
becomes
$$r^2=4rcos theta$$
So we have
$$r(theta) = 4cos theta$$
The angle is calculated:
$$theta_1=arccosfrac{z}{r} = arccosfrac{sqrt{3(x^2+y^2)}}{sqrt{x^2+y^2+z^2}}=arccosfrac{sqrt{3}}{2}$$
So
$$I = 2pi int_{theta=0}^{pi/6} frac{(4 cos theta )^3}{3} sin theta dtheta = -frac{128pi}{3} int_{theta=0}^{pi/6} (cos theta )^3 d(cos theta)$$



$$I=-frac{32pi}{3} [(cos(pi/6))^4 - (cos 0 )^4] = frac{32pi}{3} frac{7}{16} = 14pi/3$$



So I get the same thing. Hopefully this is what you were looking for. Let me know if you have any other questions about my answer.
