Let BB be the solid unit ball x2+y2+z2≤1x^2 + y^2 + z^2 \le 1 and N=(0,0,1)N = (0, 0, 1), its north pole. Evaluate the improper integral ∭BdVx2+y2+(z−1)2\displaystyle\iiint_B\dfrac{dV}{x^2 + y^2 + (z - 1)^2} (the integrand is the reciprocal of the squared distance to NN). Give your answer in terms of π\pi.
