AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a final exam question regarding the volume of a solid of revolution formed by the area bounded by y=ln(x), the x-axis, and x=e, when revolved around the line x=-1. The cylindrical shell method and washer method were used to set up the integrals for calculating the volume. The correct setup for the cylindrical shell method is 2π∫[1 to e] ln(x)(x + 1)dx, while the washer method should be π∫[0 to 1] ((e + 1)² - (e^y + 1)²)dy. The poster confirmed that they had at least one correct integral setup and acknowledged a mistake in their initial post by omitting the factor of 2π in the last integral. Overall, the focus is on verifying the correctness of the integral setups for the volume calculation.

Quesion on my final today!

I had the following question on my final exam today and i was wondering if i did it correctly:

Let y=\ln{x}\ bounded by x=eand the x-axis. Create a solid of revonution by revolving the are of R about the the line x=-1.

(a) use the cylindrical shell method.

(b) use the washer method


to find the volume of R.

We didn't have to evaluate the integrals. we just had to set them up
are my ansewers below correct? thanks in advance.

\pi\int_{0}^{1}{(e^y + 1)^2-1^2}dy

\2\pi\int_{1}^e\ln{x}(x +1)dx

\2\pi\int_{1}^e\ln{x}(x +1)dx

I finally got these:
cylindrical shell: 2\pi\int_{1}^e\ln{x}(x +1)dx

washer: \pi\int_{0}^{1}{(e + 1)^2-(e^y + 1)^2}dy
 
i got at least one correct. in my post i left off the 2pi for the last integral.thx
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with outlet pipe'
The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
