Find the mass and center of mass of the lamina that occupies the region bounded by y=x+ 2 and y=x^2, where the density at any point is given by σ(x,y) = 3x^2.
How can the surface of a sphere S2 of radius R be defined in terms of spherical coordinates? Express the surface element dS on a sphere S2 in spherical coordinates and
explain its form using words and diagrams. Determine the area of the sphere by evaluating the integral R
S2
dS. Calculate also R
S2
dS and explain why these two surface integrals
are not equal.
An object is moving so that its speed after t minutes is v (t ) = 1 + 4t + 3t2 meters per minute. How far does the object travel during the 3rd minute?
A wound is healing in such a way that t days since Monday, the area of the wound has been decreasing at a rate of -3(t+2)^-2 sq cm per day. If on Tuesday, the area of the wound was 2 sq cm, what was the area of the wound on Monday?
