My=174k

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Th expression is

My=12-x+22x-1kx2dydx=174k
02

Calculation

Plot the vertices (1,1),(2,0), and (2,3)and join them.

Obtain the equation of ABby using the formula of coordinate geometry

y-y1=y2-y1x2-x1x-x1y-1=0-12-1(x-1)y=-x+2

Equation of BC

y-0=3-02-2(x-2)y-0=30(x-2)x-2=0[Cross multiply]

And equation ofCA

y=2x-1

First moment of the mass in Ωabout the yaxis is

My=xρ(x,y)dA

Where ρ(x,y)is the density of the region Ω.

Here ρ(x,y)is proportional to the distance from the y-axis

ρ(x,y)=xk.ThenMy=kx2dA

Impose the limits on integrals.

My=12-x+22x-1kx2dydx

Integrate the inner integral first

My=k12-x+22x-1x2dydx

Integrate with respect to $y$

My=k12x2[y]-x+22x-1dx

Substitute the limits

My=k12[(2x-1)-(-x+2)]x2dxMy=k12[(2x-1)-(-x+2)]x2dxMy=k123x3-3x2dx[Simplify]

Integrate with respect to x

My=k34x4-33x312

Substitute the limits

My=k34(2)4-(2)3-34-1My=(12-8)+14My=174k[Simplify]

Thus, the first moment of the mass in Ωabout the yaxis is

My=174k

Let f(x,y,z)be a continuous function of three variables, let Ωxy={(x,y)|axbandh1(x)yh2(x)}be a set of points in the xy-plane, and let Ω={(x,y,z)|(x,y)Ωxyandg1(x,y)zg2(x,y)}be a set of points in 3-space. Find an iterated triple integral equal to the the triple integralΩf(x,y,z)dV. How would your answer change ifΩxy={(x,y)|aybandh1(y)xh2(y)}?

Identify the quantities determined by the integral expressions in Exercises 19–24. If x, y, and z are all measured in centimeters and ρ(x, y,z) is a density function in grams per cubic centimeter on the three-dimensional region , give the units of the expression.

Let f(x, y, z) and g(x, y, z) be integrable functions on the rectangular solid R=x,y,z|a1xa2,b1yb2,c1zc2. . Use the definition of the triple integral to prove that :

Rf(x,y,z)+g(x,y,z)dV=Rf(x,y,z)dV+Rg(x,y,z)dV.

Let Ωbe a lamina in the xy-plane. Suppose Ωis composed of two non-overlapping lamin Ω1and Ω2, as follows:

Show that if the masses and centers of masses of Ω1and Ω2are m1and m2,and x¯1,y¯1andx¯2,y¯2respectively, then the center of mass of Ωis x¯,y¯,where

x¯=m1x¯1+m2x¯2m1+m2andy¯=m1y¯1+m2y¯2m1+m2

In Exercises 57–60, let R be the rectangular solid defined by

R = {(x, y, z) | 0 ≤ x ≤ 4, 0 ≤ y ≤ 3, 0 ≤ z ≤ 2}.

Assuming that the density at each point in R is proportional to the distance of the point from the xy-plane, find the moment of inertia about the x-axis and the radius of gyration about the x-axis.
