Question: In Problems 7 to 18 evaluate the double integrals over the areas described. To find the limits, sketch the area and compare Figures 2.5 to 2.7.
where A is the triangle with vertices (0,0),(2,1),(2,0)
The volume inside a sphere of radius ris. Thenwhereis the area of the sphere. What is the geometrical meaning of the fact that the derivative of the volume is the area? Could you use this fact to find the volume formula given the area formula?
(a) Revolve the curve , from , about the x axis to create a surface and a volume. Write integrals for the surface area and the volume. Find the volume, and show that the surface area is infinite. Hint: The surface area integral is not easy to evaluate, but you can easily show that it is greater than which you can evaluate.
(b) The following question is a challenge to your ability to fit together your mathematical calculations and physical facts: In (a) you found a finite volume and an infinite area. Suppose you fill the finite volume with a finite amount of paint and then pour off the excess leaving what sticks to the surface. Apparently, you have painted an infinite area with a finite amount of paint! What is wrong? (Compare Problem 15.31c of Chapter 1.)
Prove the following two theorems of Pappus: The areainside a closed curve in the (x , y) plane, , is revolved about the x axis. The volume of the solid generated is equal to times the circumference of the circle traced by the centroid of A. Hint: Write the integrals for the volume and for the centroid.
