find the volume of the solid by rotating the region bounded by the given curves about the specified line, y=x^4, y=1; about y=2 how do i set up the problem so i can figure out the area, i don't need the answer, and i already graphed it, and i already rotated the graph,

I want to ask if I have 2 cylinder container 1) 50 m3 2) 60 m3 If I inject the same no. of mole of gases into these containers respectively when I apply PV=nRT Is the volume in calculating the gases in these containers are the same??

Homework Statement No specific question but what is the best way to determine which method is the best for solving for volumes (using integration) of shapes as they revolve around axis/lines. disk method? washer method? shell method? other? what exactly do you look for that may hint...

Hi there, I'm new here and I'm really glad that I found a community to discuss calculus even though its not really my favorite course (although I enjoy some of its topics). My first question here is about evaluating volumes of shapes that have no solid interiors. I know how to use the...

What is the volume of the figure bounded by y = 2x - x^2, y = 2x, x = 2, and rotated about the line y = -1. Is this the correct integral? \[ V = \pi \int_0^2 {((2x + 1)^2 - (2x - x^2 + 1)^2 } )dx \] Thank you for your time.

Homework Statement if you guys have trouble reading that, it says, Suppose you make napkin rings by drilling holes with different diameters through two wooden balls (which also have different diameters). You discover that both napkin rings have the same height h, as shown in the figure...

Find the volume of the solid generated by revolving the region bounded by y = 2x - x^2 and y = x about the line x = 1 Ok, so I can solve this if it were revolved around the y-axis, it would be: \pi \int_0^1 (x)^2 - (2x - x^2)^2 dy If I have to revolve it around x = 1, what do I need to change...

There is a glass chamber that is to be filled with water. The chamber is divided into two parts, the outer being filled with water and the inner being empty. The chamber is such that a person can stand inside without getting wet. It is modeled by the equations f(x) = \frac{243}{1820x^2} -...

Wow, I am having a brain fart :(. I can't seem to figure this question out. Here's some information that I've figured out: pH = pKa + log (\frac{[NO_2^-]}{[HNO_2]}) 3.00 = 3.40 + log (\frac{[NO_2^-]}{[HNO_2]}) \frac{[NO_2^-]}{[HNO_2]} = .40 Also, pH = -log[H^+] [H^+] = .0010 M...

If the finite region bounded by the curve y = \text{e}^{x} +1 , the y-axis and the line x = \ln2 is rotatated around the x-axis by 360^{\circ} show that the volume of the solid formed is: \frac{\pi}{2} (7 + \ln4 ) I did the intergral and got: V = \pi \left[ (\text{e}^{4} + 2\text{e}^{2}...

An amusement park is planning to build a water slide, and the park owners would like to use giant corks with density 0.28 g/cm^3 as "floats" for young children. What volume of cork is needed to keep 20% (by volume) of a 40 kg child above the water at the base of the slide (assuming the density...

This thread contains section 2 and part of section 1 of a 5 section paper I'm writing regarding consciousness. Section 2 is intended to create a more general theory around something used in engineering called "control volumes". I've also included part of section 1, the abstract, to provide a...

People, suppose a man can lift a weight equal to his own weight 2 mtrs. off the ground with very little effort. If his dimensions (i.e. LENGTH, BREDTH, HEIGHT) are increased 10 times, keeping his average density constant, will it be easier for him to lift his new weight 2 mtrs. off the ground...

I need help with this question: Sphere 1 has surface area A1 and volume V1, and Sphere 2 has surface area A2 and volume V2. If the radius of Sphere 2 is six times the radius of Sphere 1, what is the ration A2/A1 of the areas? Part two: What is the ratio V2/V1 of the volumes? :confused:

hi felles. I am trying to find what is the volume of the y=\frac{a}{x^2}+b is when it is rotated in y-axis. The values of a is 1 and b is -1. max hight is 3 and min is 0. I was trying to integrade and ended up with V=\frac{-Pi}{y^2+2Y+1} where y is 3. Is this right? I did a U...

the question i have in my assignment is this : "Find the volume common to two circular cylinders each with radius r if the axes of the cylinders intersect at right angles" now, I'm not even sure what they're asking, let alone where to begin. not looking for answers, just a nudge in the...

I'm looking for some terminology. Numerical methods of analysis seem to use different terminology for the same things, such as an "element" or "finite element" used for stress analysis, versus a "control volume" in thermodynamics. I've also seen both terms used in CFD. Is there a proper term...

How would you calculate the volume of a 4-dimensional object? Like a hypercube, hypersphere, etc...

I need software that can calculate volumes of revolutions, the only requirement is that it runs on any of the following: * Linux (i386) * Mac OS X * Windows XP (i386) Like calculate the volume when tan x is rotated around the y-axis with upper boundaries 0.2 and lower boundraries 0.1.

Hi, I was hoping someone could check my work on a few problems and get me started on a few others. It involves definite integration, so I'm going to use (a,b)S as an integration symbol and P for pi. These are the ones I need checked: 1. Use cylindrical shells to find the volume of the...

I've made this pressure shooter for school, but I can't quite figure out this kink. If the cylinder has a volume of 4,994.57 cubic centimeters, and I plan on filling it with 100 psi of air (I want to maximize the pressure) how much air am I going to need? I could just flow it in, but I need to...

I'm attempting to find the volume of the solid obtained by rotating the region under the curve: e^{-x^2} Bounded by y = 0, x = 0, and x = 1. I've done quite a few of these problems before, however, none of them have involved an exponential. If I recall correctly e^{x^2} cannot be...

I'm not sure if this post should go here or in the Calc setion, but I figure more knowledgeable people browse this form. This question is relating to 'directionality' of doing closed loop integrals. If you have some 2D wire structure, let's image it looks like a square wave, or a square well...

How do you get the volume of an expanding object? For example: A sphere's is increasing at 12ft/sec, the volume is 36, how fast is the surface area of a sphere V=4*pi*r^3/3 S=4*pi*r^2 dV/dt= 12 So i took the derivative of the volume function dV/dt=4*pi*r^2*dr/dt 12=4*pi*r^2*dr/dt...
