Question
**Problem Description:**

Find the mass of the ball of radius 2 centered at the origin with a density \( f(\rho, \varphi, \theta) = 5e^{-\rho^3} \).

**Equation:**

The mass is [ ].  
(Type an exact answer, using \(\pi\) as needed.)

**Explanation for Solving:**

To find the mass, we need to integrate the given density function over the volume of the ball. The function is given in spherical coordinates:

- \(\rho\) is the radial distance from the origin.
- \(\varphi\) is the polar angle.
- \(\theta\) is the azimuthal angle.

The mass \( M \) of the ball can be calculated using the triple integral in spherical coordinates:

\[
M = \int \int \int_V f(\rho, \varphi, \theta) \cdot \rho^2 \sin \varphi \, d\rho \, d\varphi \, d\theta
\]

Where the integration limits are:

- \(0 \leq \rho \leq 2\) (radius of the ball),
- \(0 \leq \varphi \leq \pi\),
- \(0 \leq \theta \leq 2\pi\).

The density function is \( f(\rho, \varphi, \theta) = 5e^{-\rho^3} \). Plug this into the integration and solve to find the mass.
