Pacing Tracker

  • The quizzes have included questions for 22 objectives. How many have you passed? What are you plans to master those that you haven't mastered yet?
  • We've finished units 1 through 4. Have you started your self-directed learning project for each unit?
  • The 6th project can be over any topic from the entire semester. Feel free to get started on this one as soon as you have an idea.
  • Remember you can submit only one SDL project per week. Plan ahead and don't let yourself get behind.

  • Set up an integral formula to compute the $x$ coordinate of the center-of-mass of a disc that lies inside the circle $x^2+y^2=9$ and has density function given by $\delta = y+5$.

Solution

Recall that $dm = \delta dA$ and $dA = r dr d\theta$ in polar coordinates. Bounds for the region in polar coordinates are $0\leq \theta\leq 2\pi$ and $0\leq r\leq 2$. This gives $$\begin{align} \bar x &= \frac{\int\int_R x dm}{\int\int_Rdm}\\ &= \frac{\int\int_R x (y+5)dA}{\int\int_R(y+5) dA}\\ &= \frac{\int_0^{2\pi}\int_{0}^{3} (r\cos\theta) (r\sin\theta+5)rdrd\theta} {\int_0^{2\pi}\int_{0}^{3} (r\sin\theta+5)rdrd\theta} . \end{align}$$ You can instead use Cartesian coordinates to set up the integral, which gives $$\begin{align} \bar x &= \frac{\int_{-3}^{3}\int_{-\sqrt{9-x^2}}^{\sqrt{9-x^2}} x(y+5)dydx} {\int_{-3}^{3}\int_{-\sqrt{9-x^2}}^{\sqrt{9-x^2}} (y+5)dydx}\\ &= \frac{\int_{-3}^{3}\int_{-\sqrt{9-y^2}}^{\sqrt{9-y^2}} x(y+5)dxdy} {\int_{-3}^{3}\int_{-\sqrt{9-y^2}}^{\sqrt{9-y^2}} (y+5)dxdy} . \end{align}$$

  • A wire lies along the curve $C$ parametrized by $\vec r(t) = (3t, t^3)$ for $-1\leq t\leq 2$. Set up an integral formula to find $\bar y$ for the centroid of $C$.

Solution

Recall that a little length is given by $ds = v(t) dt$ (speed multiplied by a little time). Recall that the velocity $\vec v(t) = (3,3t^2)$ gives the speed $v(t) = \sqrt{9+9t^4}$. We then have $$\begin{align} \bar y &= \frac{\int_C y ds}{\int_C ds}\\ &= \frac{\int_{-1}^{2} t^3 \sqrt{9+9t^4} dt}{\int_{-1}^{2}\sqrt{9+9t^4} dt} . \end{align}$$

  • Draw the region described the bounds of the integral $\ds\int_{0}^{3}\int_{0}^{9-x^2}\int_{0}^{5}dzdydx$.

Solution

We'll draw this together, and use Integration.nb to check our work. We'll also discuss how changing the inner bounds will affect the integral with a few examples, such as $z=7-x$ instead of $z=5$, and $z=x$ or $z=-x^2$ instead of $z=0$.

  • Draw the region described the bounds of the integral $\ds\int_{0}^{1}\int_{0}^{1-z}\int_{0}^{\sqrt{1-x^2}}dydxdz$.

Solution

We'll draw this together, and use Integration.nb to check our work.

Group problems

  1. Draw the region described the bounds of each integral. (Use the Mathematica notebook Integration.nb to check your work.)
    • $\ds\int_{0}^{3}\int_{0}^{9-x^2}\int_{0}^{3-x}dzdydx$
    • $\ds\int_{0}^{\pi}\int_{0}^{3}\int_{0}^{5}rdzdrd\theta$
    • $\ds\int_{-1}^{1}\int_{0}^{1-y^2}\int_{0}^{x}dzdxdy$
  2. 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 volume of the solid object in the first octant (all variables positive) that lies under the plane $2x+3y+6z=6$ (so $\frac{x}{3}+\frac{y}{2}+\frac{z}{1}=1$).
    • The $y$-coordinate of the center-of-mass (so $\bar y$) of previous object.
