Answer

Half-cone

Work Step by Step

Convert rectangular coordinates to spherical coordinates. $x=\rho \sin \phi \cos \theta; y=\rho \sin \phi \sin \theta;z=\rho \cos \phi$ and $\rho=\sqrt {x^2+y^2+z^2}$ Here, $\theta=\dfrac{\pi}{3}$ $ \phi =\cos (\dfrac{\pi}{3}) =\dfrac{1}{2}$ and $\theta=\cos ^{-1}(\dfrac{0}{2 \sin \dfrac{\pi}{6}})=0$ Re-arrange as $\rho^2 \cos^2 \phi =\dfrac{1}{4}\rho^2$ and $z^2=\dfrac{1}{4}(x^2+y^2+z^2)$ or, $3z^2=x^2+y^2$ Thus, this shows an equation for the half cone.
