Chapter 6: Problem 61
For each region \(R\), find the horizontal line \(y=k\) that divides \(R\) into two subregions of equal area. \(R\) is the region bounded by \(y=1-|x-1|\) and the \(x\) -axis.

City A has a current population of 500,000 people and grows at a rate of \(3 \% /\) yr. City \(\mathrm{B}\) has a current population of 300,000 and grows at a rate of \(5 \% / \mathrm{yr}\). a. When will the cities have the same population? b. Suppose City C has a current population of \(y_{0} < 500,000\) and a growth rate of \(p>3 \% /\) yr. What is the relationship between \(y_{0}\) and \(p\) such that the Cities \(A\) and \(C\) have the same population in 10 years?
A 30-m-long chain hangs vertically from a cylinder attached to a winch. Assume there is no friction in the system and the chain has a density of \(5 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}\). a. How much work is required to wind the entire chain onto the cylinder using the winch? b. How much work is required to wind the chain onto the cylinder if a \(50-\mathrm{kg}\) block is attached to the end of the chain?
Fill in the blanks: A region \(R\) is revolved about the \(y\) -axis. The volume of the resulting solid could (in principle) be found using the disk/washer method and integrating with respect to __________ or using the shell method and integrating with respect to __________.
Find the position and velocity of an object moving along a straight line with the given acceleration, initial velocity, and initial position. $$a(t)=\frac{20}{(t+2)^{2}}, v(0)=20, s(0)=10$$
On the first day of the year \((t=0),\) a city uses electricity at a rate of \(2000 \mathrm{MW}\). That rate is projected to increase at a rate of \(1.3 \%\) per year. a. Based on these figures, find an exponential growth function for the power (rate of electricity use) for the city. b. Find the total energy (in \(\mathrm{MW}\) -yr) used by the city over four full years beginning at \(t=0\). c. Find a function that gives the total energy used (in \(\mathrm{MW}\) -yr) between \(t=0\) and any future time \(t > 0\).
