Need help setting this up: find $I_z$ the given lamina with uniform density of 1

36 Views Asked by At

Find $I_z$ for the given lamina with $\rho=1$, $z = x^2 + y^2 \;\text{ and }\; 0 ≤ z ≤ h$.

I tried to set it up the following, but I am not sure if this is correct:

I know $\int_{0}^{h}dz, z-x^2-y^2=0$ and $I_z=\int_{s}\int x^2+y^2ds$

but how do I setup the rest?

$$ I_z=\int_{0}^{h}\int $$

Hint:

Since \begin{align*} I_z&=\int\int_S\left(x^2+y^2\right)\mathrm ds \end{align*} and the shape $S$ of the lamina is given by $z=x^2+y^2$ with $0\leq z\leq h$, so \begin{align*}\mathrm ds &=\left[\left(\frac{\partial z}{\partial x}\right)^2+\left(\frac{\partial z}{\partial y}\right)^2+1\right]^{1/2}\mathrm d A\\ &=\sqrt{4x^2+4y^2+1}\;\mathrm d A \end{align*} It follows \begin{align*} I_z&=\int\int_S\left(x^2+y^2\right)\sqrt{4x^2+4y^2+1}\;\mathrm d A \end{align*}

We can work with polar coordinates setting $x=r\cos\theta$, $y=r\sin\theta$, for $0\leq r\leq \sqrt{h}$, $0\leq \theta \leq 2\pi$ and $\mathrm d A=r\mathrm dr\mathrm d \theta$. Then \begin{align*} I_z&=\int_{\theta=0}^{\theta=2\pi}\int_{r=0}^{r=\sqrt{h}}{r^2\sqrt{4r^2+1}\,r\mathrm dr\mathrm d \theta}\\ &=\int_{\theta=0}^{\theta=2\pi}\int_{r=0}^{r=\sqrt{h}}{r^3\sqrt{4r^2+1}\,\mathrm dr\mathrm d \theta} \end{align*}
