Triple Integrals over Elementary Regions

Z-simple solids between two surfaces over a planar footprint, setting up all three nestings, and computing volumes and masses of familiar solids.

1. A solid is a footprint plus a ceiling and floor

2. A worked volume: the tetrahedron

3. Mass with a varying density

4. Choosing the inner variable

Choosing the inner variable

5. Reading the setup

For the tetrahedron under x+y+z=1x + y + z = 1 above the first quadrant, what are the inner bounds in the z-innermost setup?

6. The tetrahedron's volume

What volume does the nested integral over the tetrahedron produce?

7. Finding the footprint

A solid sits between z=x2+y2z = x^2 + y^2 and z=2−x2−y2z = 2 - x^2 - y^2. What is its footprint in the xyxy-plane?

8. Column length

For the tetrahedron under x+y+z=1x + y + z = 1, give the inner pass result ∫01−x−y1 dz\int_0^{1 - x - y} 1\, dz in the form 1-x-y.

9. Mean density

A solid of volume 22 has mass 33 under some density. Give the mean density, as a decimal like 1.5.
