Rapid Recall

  • Set up an iterated integral that computes the area of the region $R$ that is inside a circle of radius $a$ centered at the origin, and left of the $y$-axis.

Solution

$$A = \int_{\pi/2}^{3\pi/2}\int_0^a r\,dr\,d\theta = \int_{-a}^a\int_{-\sqrt{a^2-y^2}}^0\,dx\,dy = \int_{-a}^0\int_{-\sqrt{a^2-x^2}}^{\sqrt{a^2-x^2}}\,dy\,dx$$

  • Suppose the region $R$ above describes a laminar object with density $\delta(x,y) = 5+x^2+y^2$. Set up a double integral formula to compute the mass of the object.

Solution

$$m = \int_{\pi/2}^{3\pi/2}\int_0^a (5+r^2)\, r\,dr\,d\theta = \int_{-a}^a\int_{-\sqrt{a^2-y^2}}^05+x^2+y^2\,dx\,dy = \int_{-a}^0\int_{-\sqrt{a^2-x^2}}^{\sqrt{a^2-x^2}}5+x^2+y^2\,dy\,dx$$

  • Given two nonzero vectors $\vec u \neq \vec v$ in $\mathbb{R}^3$,
    • What gives a vector orthogonal to both $\vec u$ and $\vec v$?
    • Write a vector expression for the area of the parallelogram with $\vec u$ and $\vec v$ as sides.

Solution

  • $\vec u \times \vec v$ (or $\vec v \times \vec u$)
  • $|\vec u \times \vec v|$

Group problems

  1. Consider two vectors $\vec u = \left< a,b,0 \right>$ and $\vec v = \left< c,d,0 \right>$.
    • Without doing any computations, explain why the cross product is parallel to the $z$-axis.
    • What is the magnitude of the cross product?
    • Use the cross product formula to verify your answers above. The cross product formula is $$\vec u \times \vec v = \left<u_2 v_3 - u_3 v_2, u_3 v_1 - u_1 v_3, u_1 v_2 - u_2 v_1\right>,$$ assuming $\vec u = \left<u_1,u_2,u_3\right>$ and $\vec v = \left< v_1,v_2,v_3 \right>$.
  2. Consider $\int_{0}^{4}\int_{x}^{4}e^{y^2}dydx$.
    • Draw the region described by the bounds.
    • Swap the order of the bounds on the integral (use $dxdy$ instead of $dydx$) and then actually compute the integral.
  3. Set up an integral formula to compute each of the following:
    • The mass of a disc that lies inside the circle $x^2+y^2=9$ and has density function given by $\delta = x+10$
    • The $x$-coordinate of the center of mass (so $\bar x$) of the disc above.
    • The $z$-coordinate of the center-of-mass (so $\bar z$) of the solid object in the first octant (all variables positive) that lies under the plane $2x+3y+6z=6$.
    • The $y$-coordinate of the center-of-mass (so $\bar y$) of the same object.
  4. Draw the region described the bounds of each integral. (Use the Mathematica notebook Integration.nb to check your work.)
    • $\ds\int_{0}^{3}\int_{0}^{9-x^2}\int_{0}^{3-x}dzdydx$
    • $\ds\int_{0}^{1}\int_{0}^{1-z}\int_{0}^{\sqrt{1-x^2}}dydxdz$
    • $\ds\int_{0}^{3}\int_{0}^{\pi}\int_{0}^{5}rdzdrd\theta$
    • $\ds\int_{-1}^{1}\int_{0}^{1-y^2}\int_{0}^{x}dzdxdy$
  5. A wire lies along the curve $C$ parametrized by $\vec r(t) = (t^2+1, 3t, t^3)$ for $-1\leq t\leq 2$.
    • Compute $ds$. (Remember - a little distance equals the product of the speed and a little time.)
    • Set up an integral to find $\bar x$, then $\bar y$, then $\bar z$, for the centroid of $C$.
