Definition: If f (x,Ry,Rz)R has a domain E, then the triple integral of
f (x, y, z), denoted by E f (x, y, z) dV, is defined as:
Z Z Z m X
X n X

f (x, y, z)dV = lim f (x∗ijk , yijk

region E with the density ρ(x, y, z).

If ρ(x, y, z) = ρ =constant, and solid E is homogeneous, then (x̄, ȳ, z̄)
is called the centroid of the solid E. In that case:
