Evaluate the line integral \( {\int }_{C}\left( {{x}^{2} + {y}^{2}}\right) {dx} + {2xydy} \) from Example 4.2, Section 4.1, along the curve \( C : x = t, y = 2{t}^{2},0 \leq t \leq 1 \), where \( t = \sin u \) for \( 0 \leq u \leq \pi /2 \) .

A torus \( T \) is a surface obtained by revolving a circle of radius \( a \) in the \( {yz} \) -plane around the \( z \) -axis, where the circle’s center is at a distance \( b \) from the z-axis \( \left( {0 < a < b}\right) \), as in Figure 4.4.3. Find the surface area of \( T \) .

Example 1.1.1. A sphere of solid gold has a mass of 100 kg and the density of gold is \( {19.3}\mathrm{\;g}/{\mathrm{{cm}}}^{3} \) . What is the radius of the sphere?
Solution. This problem is more involved. To answer this, let \( r \) be the unknown radius of the sphere in units of cm. The volume of the sphere is \( V = \frac{4}{3}\pi {r}^{3} \) . Since the sphere is solid gold, the density of gold is the ratio\n\n\[ \text{ density of gold } = \frac{\text{ mass of sphere }}{\text{ ...

Example 2.2.1. As the marketing director of Turboweb software, you have been asked to deliver a brief message at the annual stockholders meeting on the performance of your product. Your staff has assembled this tabular collection of data; how can you convey the content of this table most clearly?
One idea is to simply flash an overhead slide of this data to the audience; this can be deadly! A better idea is to use a visual aid. Suppose we let the variable \( x \) represent the week and the variable \( y \) represent the gross sales (in thousands of dollars) in week \( x \) . We can then plot the points \( \left...

Example 2.3.1. Return to the tossed ball scenario on page 1. How do we decide where to draw a coordinate system in the picture?
Figure 2.7 on page 16 shows four natural choices of \( {xy} \) -coordinate system. To choose a coordinate system we must specify the origin. The four logical choices for the origin are either the top of the cliff, the bottom of the cliff, the launch point of the ball or the landing point of the ball. So, which choice d...

Two cars depart from a four way intersection at the same time, one heading East and the other heading North. Both cars are traveling at the constant speed of 30 ft/sec. Find the distance (in miles) between the two cars after 1 hour 12 minutes. In addition, determine when the two cars would be exactly 1 mile apart.
Solution. Begin with a picture of the situation. We have indicated the locations of the two vehicles after \( t \) seconds and the distance \( d \) between them at time \( t \) . By the distance formula, the distance between them is\n\n\[ d = \sqrt{{\left( a - 0\right) }^{2} + {\left( 0 - b\right) }^{2}} \]\n\n\[ = \sq...

Glo-Tek Industries has designed a new halogen street light fixture for the city of Seattle. According to the product literature, when placed on a 50 foot light pole, the resulting useful illuminated area is a circular disc 120 feet in diameter. Assume the light pole is located 20 feet east and 40 feet north of the inte...
The illuminated area is a circular disc whose diameter and center are both known. Consequently, we really need to study the intersection of this circle with the two streets. Begin by imposing the pictured coordinate system; we will use units of feet for each axis. The illuminated region will be a circular disc centered...

Letting \( x = 0,1,6 \) and -1, we conclude that the following four points lie on the line \( \ell : \left( {0,\frac{4}{3}\left( {0 - 1}\right) + 1}\right) = \) \( \left( {0,\frac{-1}{3}}\right) ,\left( {1,\frac{4}{3}\left( {1 - 1}\right) + 1}\right) = \left( {1,1}\right) ,\left( {6,\frac{4}{3}\left( {6 - 1}\right) + 1...

The yearly resident tuition at the University of Washington was $1827 in 1989 and $2907 in 1995. Assume that the tuition growth at the UW follows a linear model. What will be the tuition in the year 2000? When will yearly tuition at the University of Washington be $10,000?
Solution. If we consider a coordinate system where the \( x \) -axis represents the year and the \( y \) -axis represents dollars, we are given two data points: \( P = \left( {{1989},1,{827}}\right) \) and \( Q = \left( {{1995},2,{907}}\right) \) . Using the two-point formula for the equation of line through \( P \) an...

Solution. This example differs in some respects from the last example. In particular, instead of knowing where the runner is at two points in time, we only know one point, and have other information given to us about the speed and path of the runner. One approach is to use this new information to find where the runner ...
