One More... Ok, just one more quick question. The next problem features a semiellipse, under the same conditions, with equation y=-.5squareroot(36-9x^2), with width 4, and height three. Using information garnered from the parabola problem, I've worked it down into F = 62.4 (integral from 0...

...Omigosh. Thanks both of you guys. Just one of those things I didn't see for a bit, probably because I was trying to work it from the bottom up, instead of the top down (if that makes any sense). It also didn't help that I was going from 0 to 3 in my integral (3 was from an earlier...

Hey! All right, so, in Physics, we've been learning about pressure, and now we're tying it in with elements of calculus. Today, we began covering fluid pressures on vertical surfaces, and though I've understood most of it (8 out of 10 on a 10 problem assignment), this one problem has me...
