?(a) Evaluate \(\iiint_{E} d V\), where E is the solid enclosed by the ellipsoid \(x^{2}

Chapter 14, Problem 23

(choose chapter or problem)

(a) Evaluate \(\iiint_{E} d V\), where E is the solid enclosed by the ellipsoid \(x^{2} / a^{2}+y^{2} / b^{2}+z^{2} / c^{2}=1\). Use the transformation \(x=a u, y=b v, z=c w\).
(b) The earth is not a perfect sphere; rotation has resulted in flattening at the poles. So the shape can be approximated by an ellipsoid with a − b − 6378 km and c − 6356 km. Use part (a) to estimate the volume of the earth.

(c) If the solid of part (a) has constant density k, find its

moment of inertia about the z-axis.
