We require the triple integral in cylindrical coordinates:
M = ∫ 0 2 π ∫ 0 1 / 2 ∫ 0 1 z ( r 2 ) 2 ⋅ r d z d r d θ = ∫ 0 2 π ∫ 0 1 / 2 ∫ 0 1 z r 5 d z d r d θ = 3 8 4 π = 3 ⋅ 2 7 π .

We consider an elementary hollow cylinder with radius r , thickness d r and height d z located at an elevation of z .
Then the differential volume of the elementary cylinder is
d V = 2 π r d r d z
We know that d V d M = ρ where M is the mass, V is the volume and ρ is the density of any given body.
In our question, ρ = z ( x 2 + y 2 ) 2 = z ( r 2 ) 2 = z r 4 . So d M = ρ d V ⇒ d M = ( z r 4 ) ( 2 π r d r d z )
⇒ M = 2 π ∫ 0 h ∫ 0 R z r 5 d r d z
⇒ M = 2 π ∫ 0 h z ( ∫ 0 R r 5 d r ) d z
⇒ M = 2 π ∫ 0 h 6 z R 6 d z
⇒ M = 6 2 π R 6 ∫ 0 h z d z
⇒ M = 6 2 π R 6 ⋅ 2 h 2
⇒ M = 6 π R 6 h 2
Putting R = 2 1 and h = 1 we get
M = 2 6 ⋅ 6 π = 3 ⋅ 2 7 π
So, a = 3 and b = 2 ⇒ a + b = 5
