Find the volume of the following solids. The region bounded by \(y=\frac{1}{\sqrt{4-x^{2}}}, y=0, x=-1,\) ar \(x=1\) is revolved about the \(x\) -axis.
The work required to launch an object from the surface of Earth to outer space is given by \(W=\int_{R}^{\infty} F(x) d x,\) where \(R=6370 \mathrm{km}\) is the approximate radius of Earth, \(F(x)=G M m / x^{2}\) is the gravitational force between Earth and the object, \(G\) is the gravitational constant, \(M\) is the mass of Earth, \(m\) is the mass of the object, and \(G M=4 \times 10^{14} \mathrm{m}^{3} / \mathrm{s}^{2}.\) a. Find the work required to launch an object in terms of \(m.\) b. What escape velocity \(v_{e}\) is required to give the object a kinetic energy \(\frac{1}{2} m v_{e}^{2}\) equal to \(W ?\) c. The French scientist Laplace anticipated the existence of black holes in the 18th century with the following argument: If a body has an escape velocity that equals or exceeds the speed of light, \(c=300,000 \mathrm{km} / \mathrm{s},\) then light cannot escape the body and it cannot be seen. Show that such a body has a radius \(R \leq 2 G M / c^{2} .\) For Earth to be a black hole, what would its radius need to be?
The Mercator map projection was proposed by the Flemish geographer Gerardus Mercator \((1512-1594) .\) The stretching of the Mercator map as a function of the latitude \(\theta\) is given by the function $$ G(\theta)=\int_{0}^{\theta} \sec x d x $$ Graph \(G,\) for \(0 \leq \theta<\pi / 2\)
Find the volume of the solid torus formed when the circle of radius 4 centered at (0,6) is revolved about the \(x\) -axis.
Water is drained from a 3000 -gal tank at a rate that starts at 100 gal/hr and decreases continuously by \(5 \% / \mathrm{hr}\). If the drain is left open indefinitely, how much water is drained from the tank? Can a full tank be emptied at this rate?
