Homework Statement
Sheep are collected in a circular pen in such a way that the number per unit area at radius r is given by
[tex] n(r) = \frac{N_{0}}{\pi} (R - r)[/tex]
Where R = 10, and N0 = 0.3m^-3
Find the Total number of sheep in the pen (round your answer to the nearest integer)
Homework Equations
calculus
The Attempt at a Solution
Drawing it out, if you take the segments of the circular pen to be small rings,
then you get a strip, that is
[tex] 2/pi r * dr [/tex] in length
multiplying that by my equation I get the equation
[tex] \int dn(r) = \int \frac{No}{\pi} (R-r) 2\pi r dr [/tex]
moving the constant outside the equation
[tex] \int dn(r) = \frac{No}{\pi} \int (R-r) 2\pi r dr [/tex]
expanding the right side of the equation I get
[tex] R * (2\pi r dr) + -r * (2\pi r dr) [/tex]
integrating I get
[tex] n = \frac{No}{\pi} (\frac{R 2\pi r^2}{2} - \frac{2\pi r^3}{3}) [/tex]
simplifying it giving me the final equation
[tex] n = \frac{No}{\pi} ({R\pi r^2} - \frac{2}{3}\pi r^3 ) [/tex]
I need to figure out how to calculate a number!
pls help
i probably got it wrong, can I just substitute in 10, for the values R and also r?
