Chapter 7: Problem 58

Let \(V\) be the region in the cartesian plane consisting of all points \((x, y)\) satisfying the simultaneous conditions \(|x| \leq y \leq|x|+3\) and \(y \leq 4 .\) Find the centroid \((\overline{x}, \overline{y})\) of \(V .\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
The centroid \((\overline{x}, \overline{y})\) of \(V\) is \( (0, \frac{8}{3}) \)

Step by step solution

01

Define the region

First, understand the region \(V\). The condition \(y \leq 4\) defines a horizontal line above which the region cannot extend. The condition \(|x| \leq y \leq |x|+3\) tells that we have two triangles, one where \(x \geq 0\) and other where \(x < 0\), both with base \(-3 \leq y \leq 3\). Hence, we have two identical isosceles triangles, just mirrored over the y-axis.
02

Calculate the area

The next step is to find the area of this region. An isosceles triangle's area can be calculated as \(A = \frac{1}{2}*base*height\). Since there are two triangles, the total area is \(2*\frac{1}{2}*3*4 = 12\).
03

Calculate the x-coordinate of the centroid

The x-coordinate of the centroids of the two triangles are 0 (as they are symmetrical over the y-axis). Hence, the x-coordinate of the centroid of the region \(V\) is also 0.
04

Calculate the y-coordinate of the centroid

The y-coordinate of a triangle's centroid is \(\frac{2}{3}\) times its height, in our case it will be \(\frac{2}{3}*4 = \frac{8}{3}\). Since both triangles are identical, the average centroid y-coordinate would remain the same for the region \(V\), which is \(\frac{8}{3}\).

Pumping Gasoline In Exercises 23 and \(24,\) find the work done in pumping gasoline that weighs 42 pounds per cubic foot. (Hint: Evaluate one integral by a geometric formula and the other by observing that the integrand is an odd function.) The top of a cylindrical gasoline storage tank at a service station is 4 feet below ground level. The axis of the tank is horizontal and its diameter and length are 5 feet and 12 feet, respectively. Find the work done in pumping the entire contents of the full tank to a height of 3 feet above ground level.

Lifting a Chain In Exercises \(25-28\) , consider a 20 -foot chain that weighs 3 pounds per foot hanging from a winch 20 feet above ground level. Find the work done by the winch in winding up the specified amount of chain. Wind up the entire chain with a 500 -pound load attached to it.

Finding the Area of a Surface of Revolution In Exercises \(43-46,\) set up and evaluate the definite integral for the area of the surface generated by revolving the curve about the y-axis. $$ y=\frac{x}{2}+3, \quad 1 \leq x \leq 5 $$
