ZZ ZZ p
m= λ(x, y, z) dS = 1 + 4(x2 + y 2 ) dS.

Since S is the part of the paraboloid z = 6 − x2 − y 2 , we can use (x, y) to parameterize S. Hence, the
vector equation of S is:

r = r(x, y) = hx, y, 6 − x2 − y 2 i, (x, y) ∈ D,

where D = {(x, y) : x2 + (y − 1)2 6 1.} (region D is the projection of S onto the xy−plane). Since
p
dS = |r x × r y | = 4x2 + 4y 2 + 1 dx dy

the surface integral above becomes the double integral over the region D:
