Q7 is not as bad as it looks...
7A:
i) I cant do this. Must be missing something...
ii) You know the radius, so then you know that cos@=(x/2) so x = 2cos@
Shove @ in from part i, and you get x = 2cos(5t + pi/4)
Differentiate that twice to get x(dot) and x(doubledot) and then you will notice that its in the form x(dd) = -n<sup>2</sup>x which is SHM
iii) You've got everything you need from part ii now.
iv) Simply put at t=0 into the x(dot) equation from ii, and I got 10/sqrt(2)
7B:
i) You are finding the volume of the curve they gave you, so use
I{0->h} x<sup>2</sup> dy
You rearrange the curve given and x<sup>2</sup> = 4y<sup>1/2</sup>
Integrate and you will get the thing they ask you to show.
ii) What the question is asking is 'how fast is the height falling' (rate), so you need: <sup>dh</sup>/<sub>dt</sub>, which is the same as: <sup>dh</sup>/<sub>dV</sub>*<sup>dV</sup>/<sub>dt</sub>
You have dV/dt from the question (it is h^(1/2) ), and differentiate the volume to get dV/dh.
Multiply to get dh/dt, and you should end up with a constant (4pi), which shows that it is falling at a constant rate.
Thats all.
Anyone know how to show 7a, part i?
