In cylindrical coordinates , the bounded solid enclosed by the two conical sheets and the circular cylinder is
Its meridional section consists of two triangular regions; revolving them about the -axis gives the solid. The two conical sheets meet at the origin and meet the circular cylinder in its circles at .
Figure 1.
The bounded solid between two cones and a unit cylinder, with its meridional section
.
Since , its divergence is . Integrate directly with the cylindrical coordinates volume element :
The same calculation gives .
