A particle is projected from a point on a straight line with velocity and moves in such a way that when it has travelled a distance of meters it has velocity of . Prove that the acceleration of the particle is .
One of the largest Pyramids in Egypt is approximately 150m high and has a square base with a base area of approximately 50,000. The diagram below shows a square based pyramid with a base area A and height h. The thickness of the cross-section at height .
i) Show that the area of the cross section at height can be represented as:
ii) Find the volume of the pyramid by using slicing technique.
Find, by the method of cylindrical shells, the volume of the solid generated when the region bounded by the curve , the line and the co-ordinates axes is rotated about the line .
The area bounded by the parabola and the line is rotated about the line . Use the slice (washer) method to find the volume of the solid formed.
