volume of the intersection of the cone and the sphere

165 Views Asked by At

Find the volume of the portion of the unit sphere which lies inside the right circular cone having its vertex at the origin and making an angle $w$ with the positive z-axis.

Please help me with the sum. I understood that the area would look somewhat like an ice cream cone but how to use triple integration not understanding.

The volume can be integrated in spherical coordinates as

$$\int_0^{2\pi}\int_0^\omega \int_0^1 r^2\sin\theta \>dr d\theta d\phi=\frac{2\pi}3(1-\cos\omega)$$
