Solution

The volume V of a sphere of radius a can be found by integrating over the sphere in spherical coordinates. The volume element in spherical coordinates is given by dV = r^2 sin(φ) dr dθ dφ, where r is the radial distance, θ is the azimuthal angle, and φ is the polar angle.

The limits of integration for r are from 0 to a (the radius of the sphere), for θ are from 0 to 2π (a full revolution around the sphere), and for φ are from 0 to π (from the bottom to the top of the sphere).

So, the triple integral becomes:

V = ∫ (from 0 to a) ∫ (from 0 to 2π) ∫ (from 0 to π) r^2 sin(φ) dr dθ dφ

This can be separated into three separate integrals:

V = ∫ (from 0 to a) r^2 dr * ∫ (from 0 to 2π) dθ * ∫ (from 0 to π) sin(φ) dφ

The first integral evaluates to [r^3 / 3] (from 0 to a) = a^3 / 3.

The second integral evaluates to [θ] (from 0 to 2π) = 2π.

The third integral evaluates to [-cos(φ)] (from 0 to π) = 2.

Multiplying these together gives:

V = a^3 / 3 * 2π * 2 = 4/3 π a^3

So, the volume of a sphere of radius a is 4/3 π a^3, not 43 π a^3. There seems to be a typo in your question.
