You are working as an apprentice engineer at a company involved in the

research, design production and maintenance of bespoke engineering solutions
for larger customers.
Part of your apprenticeship is to spend time working in all departments, however
Vocational a certain level of understanding needs to be shown before the managing director
Scenario or allows apprentices into the design team and so she has developed a series of
Context questions on integration to determine if you are suitable.
Produce a report that contains written descriptions, analysis and mathematics
that shows how calculus can be used to solve engineering problems as set out
below. A, B, C, D, E, g(x) values selected from Table 1.

Task 1 1 The tasks are to:

a) Find the indefinite integral of the function

i. y=Dg(x )

ii. y= A t +B e + + D cos(0.5 t )
t

b) Calculate the definite integral

 2 An object is moving with a uniform acceleration a= A m s−2, determine the
functions for:
a) Velocity v ( m s−1 ) – given v ( 0 )=B ms
−1

b) Displacement s ( m ) – given s ( 0 )=C m

c) Calculate the values of velocity v and displacement s for:
i) t=2 s
ii) t=5 s

3 A force, F (kN), required to produce the extension, x (mm), of the material

given by
Ex
F=1−e .
The work required to produce the extension from a mm to b mm is defined as:
b
work =∫ Fdx
a
a) Calculate the work done required to increase extension of material from 0
to D mm using
i) An analytical integration technique
ii) A numerical integration technique

[Note: the work done is given by the area under the curve of force]
b) Compare the two answers
c) Using a computer spreadsheet increase the number of values used for
your numerical method
d) Analyse any effect the size of numerical step has on the result.

4 A complex function can be modelled by the equation:

y=f (x )

Find the indefinite integral of the function (∫ f ( x )dx ) using a substitution

method.

5 The acceleration of an object moving in a strange way has been modelled as

a=B x g(x ).
a) Use integration by parts to find an equation to model the velocity v
if v=∫ B x g (x)dx .
b) Is the problem any different if you find v= ∫ g(x ) B x dx ?
6 For the function v=C sin θ , calculate the mean of v
a) Over a range of 0 ≤ θ ≤ π radians
b) Over a range of 0 ≤ θ ≤2 π radians

Comment on your results (Hint: you can use a sketch of v=C sin θ ¿ .

 7 Newton’s laws of cooling proposes that the rate of change of temperature is
proportional to the temperature difference to the ambient (room)
temperature. And can be modelled using the equation:
dT
=−k ( T −T a )
dt
This can also be written as:
dT
=−k dt
T −T a
Where:
T =Temperature of material
T a= Ambient ( room ) temperature
k = A cooling constant
a) Integrate both sides of the equation and show that the temperature
difference is given by:
( T −T a )=C o e−kt ¿ ]
b) Calculate C o if the initial temperature is 70 ℃ and T a=C ℃ .

Checklist of Your informal report should contain:

evidence
 analysis
required
 worked solutions to the problems

Each worked solution should be laid out clearly and contain brief explanations of
the stages of the calculation to indicate your understanding of how calculus can
be used to solve an engineering problem. Graphs should be well presented and
clearly labelled and comparisons between methods should be accurate and well
presented.
