Problem 1. Find the volume of the solid bounded by the surfaces z = 3x2 + 3y 2 and
z = 4 x2 y 2 .
Solution. The two paraboloids intersect when 3x2 + 3y 2 = 4 x2 y 2 or x2 + y 2 = 1.
Wrting down the given volume first in Cartesian coordinates and then converting into polar
form we find that

Problem 2. Sketch the region enclosed by the curve r = b + a cos and compute its
area. Here a and b are positive constants, b > a.

Problem 3. A lamina occupies the region inside the circle x2 + y 2 = 2y but outside the
circle x2 + y 2 = 1. Find the center of mass if the density at any point is inversely poportional
to its distance from the origin.
Solution. The circles x2 + y 2 = 2y and x2 + y 2 = 1 may be written in polar coordinates as
r = 2 sin and r = 1 respectively. They intersect at two points, where sin = 12 , so that = 6
