COMMENTS
"The integral corresponds to integration over a spherical cone with opening angle pi/2 and radius 4. However, it is not clear what the integrand physically represents (it resembles computation of a moment of inertia, but that would give a factor (rho sin(phi))^2 rather than the given rho cos(phi)."
