Example Question #21 : Fundamental Theorem Of Calculus
This is a Second Fundamental Theorem of Calculus problem. Since the derivative cancels out the integral, we just need to plug in the bounds into the function (top bound - bottom bottom) and multiply each by their derivative.

Example Question #1 : Integral Applications
Determine the length of the following function between
In order to begin the problem, we must first remember the formula for finding the arc length of a function along any given interval:
where ds is given by the equation below:
We can see from our equation for ds that we must find the derivative of our function, which in our case is dv/dt instead of dy/dx, so we begin by differentiating our function v(t) with respect to t:
Now we can plug this into the given equation to find ds:
Our last step is to plug our value for ds into the equation for arc length, which we can see only involves integrating ds. The interval along which the problem asks for the length of the function gives us our limits of integration, so we simply integrate ds from t=1 to t=4:
Example Question #1 : Applications In Physics
Find the coordinates of the center of mass for the region bounded by the following two functions:
Before we can set up any sort of integral, we must find out where our two functions intersect, which tells of what the bounds of our region are. To do this, we set our functions equal to each other and solve for the x values at which they intersect:
Our next step is to use the formulas for the x and y coordinates of any region's center of mass, which are given below:
We know the bounds of our region, as well as the functions f(x) and g(x) that make up its upper and lower boundaries, respectively, so the only thing we have left to do is calculate the area of our region using the following integral:
Now that we know the area, bounds, and functions f(x) and g(x) that make up our region, we can simply plug these values into the formulas for the x and y coordinates of the center of mass for the region:
So by evaluating our integrals, we can see that the center of mass of the region bounded by our two functions is .
Example Question #2 : Integral Applications
Calculate the surface area of the solid obtained by rotating
about the x-axis from to .
Before we can begin the problem, we must remember the formula for finding the surface area of a solid formed from rotation about the x-axis:
where ds is given by the following equation:
So in order to set up our integral for surface area, we must first find ds, which requires us to evaluate the derivative of our function:
In order to add the two terms in our radicand, we must find their common denominator. Because one of our terms is just 1, we can simplify the equation by writing 1 as (16-x^2)/(16-x^2), which allows us to add the two terms together and gives us:
Now we have our expression for ds in terms of x, and we can write the y in the formula for surface area by replacing it with its equation in terms of x given in the problem statement:
Example Question #1 : Applications In Physics
In physics, the work done on an object is equal to the integral of the force on that object dotted with its displacent.
This looks like ( is work, is force, and is the infinitesimally small displacement vector). For a force whose direction is the line of motion, the equation becomes .
If the force on an object as a function of displacement is , what is the work as a function of displacement ? Assume and the force is in the direction of the object's motion.

Both the terms of the force are power terms in the form , which have the integral , so the integral of the force is .
We know

This means
