Step 1

So we need, Set up only the appropriate triple integrals in cylindrical and spherical coordinates needed to find the volume of the solid.
To set the triple integral in cylindrical coordinates
By using relation,
x=rcosθ
y=rsinθ
z=z
Thus,
The cone z=3x2+3y2 in cylindrical coordinate becomes,
z=3r2=3r
And the sphere become r2+z2=16
To find the limit of r,
Consider,
3r2=16r2
3r2=16r2

r2=4
r=2
Step 2
Thus, we can describe the region as
E={(r,θ,z)|0θ2π|0r23rz16r2}
Hence, the triple integral for the volume by cylindrical coordinates is
V=02π023r16r2rdzdrdθ
Step 3
Now, to set the triple integral in spherical coordinates
Since,
p2=x2+y2+z2
tanθ=yx
φ=arccos(zx2+y2+z2)
The sphere x2+y2+z2=16 gives p2=16=>p=4
From the cone
z=3x2+3y2=3r
pcos(φ)=3psin(φ)
ptan(φ)=13
φ=π6
Step 4
Thus, we can describe the region as
E={(p,φ,θ)|0p4,0φπ6,0θ2π}
Hence, the triple integral for the volume of the solid by spherical coordinate is
V=02π0π604p2sin(φ) d pd φ d θ
Step 5
Now, evaluating the integral of cylindrical coordinate we get.
V=02π023r16r2rdzdrdθ
V=17.9582
And evaluating the integral of spherical coordinate
V=02π0π604r2sin(φ)dpdφdθ
V=17.9582
Thus, by both coordinate systems, we get the same volume.
Therefore, both triple integrals are appropriate.
