1. Approximate the integral
for the partition of R = {(x,y)|0x2, 0y1} given by the lines x=1 and y=½,
taking (xi*, yi*) to be the center of each subrectangle.
2. Set up an integral for Mx, the moment about the x axis, of a lamina with density and shaped like the left half of a circle with radius 10,
a) In rectangular coordinates
b) In polar coordinates
3. An artist plans to build a large abstract ice sculpture at the North
pole representing the essence of polar bears. It will be shaped like the
region bounded by the plane z=0, the plane y=0, the cylinder x2
+ z2 = 25, and the plane x + y = 10. Set up an integral
for the volume of the sculpture.
4. In computing the area of an ellipse it can be convenient to make
the transformation x = a r cos, y = b r sin. Find the Jacobean for this
transformation.
5. A group of happy little bunnies lives in a forest. If the total bunny population is given by the integral ,
a) What function (x,y) gives the population density of bunnies at a point in the forest?
b) What is the total bunny population in the forest, to the nearest
bunny? [Hint: It may help to
reverse the order of integration].
6. The OU Math Club is considering producing and marketing small crimson
Math Club beanies shaped like the part of the sphere x2 + y2
+ z2 = 9 that lies within the cylinder x2 + y2
= 4. Find the surface area of such a beanie.
7. Evaluate the integral .
8. Biff is a calculus student at O.S.U. who's having some trouble with
integrating in spherical coordinates. He's just set up an integral
for the volume of a certain region. Is there anything you can suggest Biff
might need to correct about his work?
9. Let s be any arc of the unit circle lying entirely in the
first quadrant. Let A be the area of the region lying below s
and above the x-axis and let B be the area of the region lying to
the right of the y-axis and to the left of s. Prove that A
+ B depends only on the arc length, and not on the position of s.
[Hints: Sketch yourself a picture and label the points at the beginning
and end of the arc s as (cos 1,
sin 1)
and (cos 2,
sin 2).
Setting up integrals for A and B is worth half the points.
In working them out, the formulas
and
might be helpful.]
10. The region created by removing a smaller square from one corner
of a larger square is called a square gnommon. If a lamina with uniform
density and shaped like a square gnommon is created by removing a square
with side length a from a square with side length b, where
will the center of mass of the lamina lie?
Extra Credit (5 points possible):
Depending on the values of a and b, the center of mass of the lamina described in problem 10 may or may not lie within the gnommon itself. For what values of a and b will the center of mass fall within the gnommon?
