MODULE 3 APPLICATIONS OF DEFINITE INTEGRAL
Intended Learning Outcomes.
At the end of this module, the students should be able to:
1. Apply integration to the evaluation of areas, volumes of
revolution, force, and work.
2. Utilize the integration formulas for indefinite and definite
integrals accurately.
3. Develop mathematical skills and values to be able to deal with
their everyday challenges and needs.
Overview.
The module will concentrate on the different applications of
definite integration. The said applications may be geometrical or
physical in nature, specifically, plane areas, areas between curves,
volumes of revolution, work, and hydrostatic pressures.

3.4 WORK
In physics, work is defined as the displacement of a body done
by a constant force along the line of motion. It is denoted by
W = Fd
Using integration, work may be computed, as follows:
• For extension or compression of elastic materials
𝐛
𝐖 = ∫ 𝐟(𝐱)𝐝𝐱
𝐚
where: W = work done
f(x) = force By Hooke’s Law,
f(x) = kx, k is the constant of proportionality and x is the amount of
elongation, in which the force is directly proportional
Examples
1. If a force of 30 lb stretches a 10-inch spring to 15 inches, find the
work done in stretching the spring from 18 inches to 21 inches.

3.5 HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE
Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure exerted by the fluid at
equilibrium at any point of time due to the force of gravity to a
submerged body below the surface of the fluid. The force due to
the pressure of the fluid is
F = whA
where: F – force due to the pressure of the fluid
w – weight per unit volume of the fluid
h – the distance between the surface of
the fluid and the submerged body
A – the area of the submerged body

By integration, force due to pressure may be computed as
