Setting up an integral of rotation is used as a method of of calculating the volume of a 3D object formed by a rotated area of a 2D space. Finding the volume is similar to finding the area, but there is one additional component of rotating the area around a line of symmetry.

First the solid of revolution should be defined. The general function is y=f(x), on an interval [a,b].

Then the curve is rotated about a given axis to get the surface of the solid of revolution. That is the integral of the function.

It all depends of the function f(x), which must be known in order to calculate the integral.

Each laid 250 bricks but while Jake was still working, Josh was lounging in the shade. Josh has more power but that power was only on for 3 hours out of 4.5. Obviously Josh could get more done is less time as long as he keeps working. Jake will get the hang of it soon.

What % of an object’s mass is above the water line if the object’s density is 0.82g/ml?

Sladkaya [172]

To develop this problem we will apply the Archimedes model. As well as the definitions of Weight based on mass and acceleration. The first in turn will be considered under the relationship of Density and Volume. From the values given we have to:

$\rho_w =1 g/mL \rightarrow \text{Water Density}$

$\rho_o = 0.82g/mL \rightarrow \text{Object density}$

Since it is in equilibrium, the weight of the object will have a reaction from the water, which will cause the sum of forces between the two objects to be zero, therefore

$\sum F= 0$
