In Problems 17 to 30, for the curve y=x, betweenx=0and x=2,

find:

The centroid of the arc.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The centroid of the arc isx,y0.869,0.846

Step by step solution

01

Explanation of the theorem

The area, inside a closed curve in the (x,y) plane, y0, is revolved around the x -axis. The volume of the solid generated is equal to times the circumference of the circle traced by the centroid of A .

02

 Step 2: Calculation of the value of y

From the problem 3.18 the arc length of the curve is given as follows,

L2.562

From the problem 3.20, the surface of the curve rotated about the -axis is given as follows,

S=13π3

Apply the theorem.

S=2πyLyL=S2π=136y0.846

03

 Step 3: Representation of the area bounded by the curve

Draw the bounded region for the curve y=x, between x=0and x=2.

04

Calculation of the value of surface

Calculate the value of surface.

S=02xy2πdsy=2π02y21+xϕy2dy=2π02y21+4y2dy

Substitute 12for y, and 12for in the above expression.

S=2π0sinh-12218sinh2ucosh2udu=π40sinh-122sinh2ucosh2udu=π40sinh-12214cosh2u-1cosh2u+1du=π160sinh-12214cosh2u-1du

Further solve the expression.

S=π16-u0sinh-122+120sinh-122cosh4u+1du=π16-12sinh-122+18sinh24u0sinh-122=π128sinh+4sinh-122-4sinh-122

05

Calculation of the value of y

Apply the theorem.

Lx=S2π2.226x0.869

Thus, the centroid isx,y0.869,0.846 .
