Hi Rahul, Fix and look at the r-z plane identified by \theta = 0. R is a constant and the variable r can take any value with 0 \leq r \leq R. Now let r_0 satisfy 0 \leq r_0 \leq R. The points (r_0, \theta, z) is to satisfy the conditions in the problem are the points 0 \leq z \leq r_0, that is the points on the red line segment in my diagram. If this vertical line segment is drawn for each value of r with 0 \leq r \leq R you get the red triangle in the diagram below. This is the region described in cylindrical coordinates by 0 \leq r \leq R, \theta=0, 0 \leq z \leq r. But in your question \theta can take any value between 0 and 2\;\pi. To construct this region you need to rotate this triangle around the z-axis to obtain a cylinder of radius R, height R with a conical section removed. Penny | |||||||||||||||
