Homework Statement
im required to find the width of the strip of integration across the triangular lamina w(s) and then integrate to find the area
I am given w(s) = x_right(s) - x_left(s) between 0<s<λh and λh<s<h
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
i have found the equation i think for the first inequality using similar triangles
w(s) = (d-b)s/λh + ds/h (do i need to find anonther equation for w(s) with for the second inequality?)
due to the orientation of the triangle I am not sure whether i have to split the region up into two sections when integrating to find the area
i would really appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction i don't want any solutions
thanks in advance
