Exercises

  1. A flat circular plate has the shape of the region tex2html_wrap_inline236 . The plate is heated so that the temperature is given by

    displaymath238

    Find the temperature and coordinates of the hottest and coldest points of the plate. Don't forget to check the boundary!

  2. What is the maximum possible volume of a rectangular box inscribed in a hemisphere of radius R? You may assume that one side of the box lies in the planar base of the hemisphere.
  3. Compute the following double integrals:
    1. tex2html_wrap_inline242
    2. tex2html_wrap_inline244
  4. Find the mass and center of mass of the given laminas. The definition of mass and center of mass are defined on page 866 of the text.
    1. The region bounded by tex2html_wrap_inline246 and tex2html_wrap_inline248 where tex2html_wrap_inline250 . Plot the region and indicate the centroid on your graph.
    2. The square with vertices (0,0), (0,a), (a,a) and (a,0) with tex2html_wrap_inline256 . Sketch the region and indicate the centroid on your graph.
    3. The trapezoid with vertices tex2html_wrap_inline258 and tex2html_wrap_inline260 where tex2html_wrap_inline262 are positive and tex2html_wrap_inline264 . Assume that tex2html_wrap_inline266 . Sketch the region and indicate the centroid on your graph.
