You can navigate through this E-Book using the menu to the left. For E-Books that have a Chapter/Section organization each option in the menu to the left indicates a chapter and will open a menu showing the sections in that chapter. Alternatively, you can navigate to the next/previous section or chapter by clicking the links in the boxes at the very top and bottom of the material.
Also, depending upon the E-Book, it will be possible to download the complete E-Book, the chapter containing the current section and/or the current section. You can do this be clicking on the E-Book, Chapter, and/or the Section link provided below.
For those pages with mathematics on them you can, in most cases, enlarge the mathematics portion by clicking on the equation. Click the enlarged version to hide it.
In this section we’re going to take a look at some of
applications of integration. It should
be noted as well that these applications are presented here, as opposed to
Calculus I, simply because many of the integrals that arise from these applications
tend to require techniques that we discussed in the previous chapter.
Here is a list of applications that we’ll be taking a look
at in this chapter.
Arc
Length
We’ll determine the length of a curve in this
section.
Surface Area
In this section we’ll determine the surface
area of a solid of revolution.
Center of Mass
Here we will determine the center of mass or
centroid of a thin plate.
Hydrostatic Pressure and Force
We’ll determine the hydrostatic pressure and
force on a vertical plate submerged in water.
Probability
Here we will look at probability density
functions and computing the mean of a probability density function.
