    Finding Volume of Solid Generated by Revolving Cycloid Arch Around x-Axis

    [b]1. Find the volume of the solid generated by revolving the region bounded by the x-axis and one arch of the cycloid x=theta-sin(theta), y=1-cos(theta) around the x-axis. [b]2. hint:dV=(pi)y^2 dx [b]3. So far I have been unable to solve for theta so that I can form a relationship...

    Reading an Acceleration Vs. Time Graph

    Thanks! Thanks for helping! I just started doing integrals and Reimann sums a couple of weeks ago in calculus, but the problem I'm working on is for an engineering class. I thought that since we are approximating rectangles to find approximations of the area under the curve in calculus, if...

    Reading an Acceleration Vs. Time Graph

    [b]1. I need to find the velocity of an object with a constant acceleration of 0.5 ft/sec by creating an acceleration vs. time graph spanning the interval of 0 to 5 seconds [b]2. This is kind of a theoretical problem, so if any equations apply, they were not given to us [b]3. I...
