Test #2 : Thursday 6/18

Topics: Length of a curve, surface area, Work, Fluid Force, Rectilinear motion.
Arclength: P 375 # 3 - 8, 13, 25
Don't forget: Must always check continuity and differentiability 1st. ( I will take off
points if you dont establish that the fcn is cont and diff and dont just say it is, show me
why. For ex: f ( x) x 2 is cont and diff for all values of x because it is a polynomial
function ( calc I theorem) or g ( x) 4 x over 1 x 3 is cont for all x>0 and diff for all
x>0, so it is cont and diff over [1,3].) If the arc length formula cannot be used b/c the
function does not meet the differentiability requirement, you may be able to complete the
problem by switching to the other formula ( dy instead of dx - see problem #8)
Also remember we have a formula for the arclength of parametric equations ( must
check cont and diff for both equations) (P 375 # 25)
Surface Area: P 380 # 1 - 8, 9,11,12, 23, 24 remember that SA is like Length you
have to check for cont/differentiability before applying the formula. Remember, with SA
there is no choice: if revolved about the x axis , use the dx formula; about the y-axis,
dy For length and surface area problems, be careful with the algebra.
Work: 3 types of problems:
1) regular work problems - like the Rope/pulley problem or the rocket problem,
2) Springs, remember that when setting up the limits, that x represents the # of units
stretched or compressed, so at natural length (equilibrium) we let x = 0.
3) Work involving removing liquid from a container
P 389, # 1,2, 6 9, 12, 14 19, 21 23, 25
Fluid force: P 405 # 3 - 8, 11,20, 21
(I will provide a copy of the table of densities on P 402)
Rectilinear motion: Know relationship between position, velocity and acceleration
functions. Difference between distance and displacement, application problems
involving motion along a straight line. (including vertical motion, which we will cover on
Tuesday). P 329 # 5, 9, 15, 30 -33, 35
HW for Vertical Motion: P 331 # 37 - 41
