Find the mass of a ball of radius R if the mass density is proportional to the product of the distance to the origin times the distance to an equatorial plane. Take into account that: 1 (i) A ball is a solid whose edge is a sphere. (ii) An equatorial plane is any plane that contains the center of the sphere. (iii) It is convenient to look for a coordinate system that facilitates the task. For example the center of the ball can be placed at the origin. And the equatorial plane? (iv) What type of coordinates is the most suitable for this problem?
