A sinusoidal equation can be used to describe the height because the height depends on a periodic motion, and the equation can be written as:

h(t) = 13ft*sin(pi*t) + 24ft

<h3>Why a sinusoidal equation can be used?</h3>

Remember that the sine function has a periodicity, such that:

sin(x + 2pi) = sin(x).

So, for a circle where if you do a complete rotation you end in the initial place, so there can be a relation between the height and a sinusoidal equation.

Notice that the initial position is 24ft above the ground, so we can write this, at the moment, as:

h(x) = Asin(n*t) + 24ft

A is the amplitude, it defines the maximum height and minimum height, both depend on the radius (the maximum height is 24ft plus the radius, the minimum height is 24ft minus the radius) then we write:

h(t) = 13ft*sin(kt) + 24ft

k depends on how much time takes to do a full rotation. We know that the sine function does a "complete cycle" in 2pi, while the wheel does a full rotation in 2 seconds, then we have that:

k*2 = 2pi

k = (2pi)/2s = pi

Then the sinusoidal equation that represents the height is:

h(t) = 13ft*sin(pi*t) + 24ft

Find the mass and center of mass of the lamina that occupies the region D and has the given density function rho. D is the trian

Alla [95]

Answer: mass (m) = 4 kg

center of mass coordinate: (15.75,4.5)

Step-by-step explanation: As a surface, a lamina has 2 dimensions (x,y) and a density function.

The region D is shown in the attachment.

From the image of the triangle, lamina is limited at x-axis: 0≤x≤2

At y-axis, it is limited by the lines formed between (0,0) and (2,1) and (2,1) and (0.3):

Points (0,0) and (2,1):

y = $\frac{1-0}{2-0}(x-0)$

y = $\frac{x}{2}$

Points (2,1) and (0,3):

y = $\frac{3-1}{0-2}(x-0) + 3$

y = -x + 3

Now, find total mass, which is given by the formula:

$m = \int\limits^a_b {\int\limits^a_b {\rho(x,y)} \, dA }$

Calculating for the limits above:

$m = \int\limits^2_0 {\int\limits^a_\frac{x}{2} {2(x+y)} \, dy \, dx }$

where a = -x+3

$m = 2.\int\limits^2_0 {\int\limits^a_\frac{x}{2} {(xy+\frac{y^{2}}{2} )} \, dx }$

$m = 2.\int\limits^2_0 {(-x^{2}-\frac{x^{2}}{2}+3x )} \, dx }$

$m = 2.\int\limits^2_0 {(\frac{-3x^{2}}{2}+3x)} \, dx }$

$m = 2.(\frac{-3.2^{2}}{2}+3.2-0)$

m = 2(-4+6)

m = 4

Mass of the lamina that occupies region D is 4.

Center of mass is the point of gravity of an object if it is in an uniform gravitational field. For the lamina, or any other 2 dimensional object, center of mass is calculated by:

$M_{x} = \int\limits^a_b {\int\limits^a_b {y.\rho(x,y)} \, dA }$

$M_{y} = \int\limits^a_b {\int\limits^a_b {x.\rho(x,y)} \, dA }$

$M_{x}$ and $M_{y}$ are moments of the lamina about x-axis and y-axis, respectively.

Calculating moments:

For moment about x-axis:

$M_{x} = \int\limits^a_b {\int\limits^a_b {y.\rho(x,y)} \, dA }$

$M_{x} = \int\limits^2_0 {\int\limits^a_\frac{x}{2} {2.y.(x+y)} \, dy\, dx }$

$M_{x} = 2\int\limits^2_0 {\int\limits^a_\frac{x}{2} {y.x+y^{2}} \, dy\, dx }$

$M_{x} = 2\int\limits^2_0 { ({\frac{y^{2}x}{2}+\frac{y^{3}}{3})}\, dx }$

$M_{x} = 2\int\limits^2_0 { ({\frac{x(-x+3)^{2}}{2}+\frac{(-x+3)^{3}}{3} -\frac{x^{3}}{8}-\frac{x^{3}}{24} )}\, dx }$

$M_{x} = 2.(\frac{-9.x^{2}}{4}+9x)$

$M_{x} = 2.(\frac{-9.2^{2}}{4}+9.2)$

$M_{x} = 18$

Now to find the x-coordinate:

x = $\frac{M_{y}}{m}$

x = $\frac{63}{4}$

x = 15.75

For moment about the y-axis:

$M_{y} = \int\limits^2_0 {\int\limits^a_\frac{x}{2} {2x.(x+y))} \, dy\,dx }$

$M_{y} = 2.\int\limits^2_0 {\int\limits^a_\frac{x}{2} {x^{2}+yx} \, dy\,dx }$

$M_{y} = 2.\int\limits^2_0 {y.x^{2}+x.{\frac{y^{2}}{2} } } \,dx }$

$M_{y} = 2.\int\limits^2_0 {x^{2}.(-x+3)+\frac{x.(-x+3)^{2}}{2} - {\frac{x^{3}}{2}-\frac{x^{3}}{8} } } \,dx }$

$M_{y} = 2.\int\limits^2_0 {\frac{-9x^3}{8}+\frac{9x}{2} } \,dx }$

$M_{y} = 2.({\frac{-9x^4}{32}+9x^{2})$

$M_{y} = 2.({\frac{-9.2^4}{32}+9.2^{2}-0)$

$M{y} =$ 63

To find y-coordinate:

y = $\frac{M_{x}}{m}$

y = $\frac{18}{4}$

y = 4.5

Center mass coordinates for the lamina are (15.75,4.5)
