In Exercises 37-42, find the volume of the solid generated by revolving the region bounded by the graphs of the equations about the indicated line. $$ y=x, \quad y=x^{2} ; \text { the line } y=2 $$
Find the centroid of the region under the graph of \(y=\sin \pi x\) on the interval \([0,1]\). Find the exact values of \(\bar{x}\) and \(\bar{y}\).
An aquarium has the shape of a rectangular tank of length \(4 \mathrm{ft}\), width \(2 \mathrm{ft}\), and height \(3 \mathrm{ft}\). If the tank is filled with water weighing \(62.4 \mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{ft}^{3}\), find the work required to empty the tank by pumping the water over the top of the tank.
In Exercises 31 and 32, use differentials to approximate the arc length of the graph of the equation from \(P\) to \(Q\). $$ y=x^{3}+1 ; \quad P(1,2), Q(1.2,2.728) $$
Heat-Seeking Missiles In a test conducted on a heat-seeking Missile \(A\), the target missile \(B\), which is initially at a distance of \(b\) miles from Missile \(A\), is launched vertically upward. Assume that Missile \(A\) travels at a constant speed \(v_{A}\), that Missile \(B\) travels at a constant speed \(v_{B}\left(v_{A}>v_{B}\right)\), and that Missile \(A\), which is launched from the origin, is always pointed at Missile \(B\). Then the trajectory of Missile \(A\) is $$ y=\frac{b}{2}\left[\frac{\left(1-\frac{x}{b}\right)^{1+c}}{1+c}-\frac{\left(1-\frac{x}{b}\right)^{1-c}}{1-c}\right]+\frac{b c}{1-c^{2}} $$ where \(c=v_{B} / v_{A}\). The trajectory of Missile \(A\) is a pursuit curve. a. Find the point at which Missile \(A\) intercepts Missile \(B\). b. Show that $$ \frac{d y}{d x}=-\sinh \left[c \ln \left(1-\frac{x}{b}\right)\right] $$ c. Suppose that \(b=1\) and \(c=\frac{1}{2}\). Show that the distance \(D\) traveled by Missile \(A\) for the intercept is \(1 \frac{1}{3} \mathrm{mi}\). Hint: \(D=\int_{0}^{1} \sqrt{1+\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)^{2}} d x\) d. Plot the graph of the trajectory of the heat-seeking missile taking \(b=1\) and \(c=\frac{1}{2}\)
