In a tropical rain forest, the rainfall at time t byφ (t)= 0.1-0.1 t + 0.05t2 inches per

hour, 0≤ t ≤ 10. What is the average rainfall for times 0 ≤ t ≤ 6 ?

SOLUTION:

We need only average the function φ :

 Use the method of cylindrical shells to calculate the volume enclosed when the curve

y= x2 ,0 ≤ x ≤ 3 , is rotated about the x-axis.

Solution

We reverse, in our analysis, the roles of x- and y- axes. Of course y ranges from 0 to

9. For each position y in that range, there is a segment stretching from x=√ y to x=3. Thus it

has length 3−√ y . Then the cylinder generated when this segment ( thickened to a strip of

width Δ y ) is rotated about the x- axis has volume.

V ( y )=2 π y . [ 3− √ y ] ∆ y .

The aggregate volume is then

A solid has base in the x-y plane consisting of a unit square with center at the origin

and vertices on the axes. The vertical cross – section at position x itself a square. Refer to

the picture below. What is the volume of this solid?

 Solution

It is sufficient to calculate the volume of the right half of this solid, and to double the

answer. Of course, the extent of x is then0 ≤ x ≤ 1/ √2 . At position x, the height of the upper

edge of the square base is 1/√ 2 -x. So the base of the vertical square slice is 2 ¿- x ¿. The area

of the slice is then

Calculate the volume inside a sphere of radius 1.

Solution

It is convenient for us to think of the sphere as centered at the origin in the x-y plane. Thus
(the picture below) the slice at position x,−1 ≤ x ≤1 , is a disk. Since we are working with
base the unit circle, we may calculate that the diameter of this disk is 2√ 1−x 2. Thus, the
radius is √ 1−x 2 and the area is.
