The area under the curve.
Question: where A is the area shown in Figure 2.8
over the triangle with vertices
(a) Revolve the curve , from , about the x axis to create a surface and a volume. Write integrals for the surface area and the volume. Find the volume, and show that the surface area is infinite. Hint: The surface area integral is not easy to evaluate, but you can easily show that it is greater than which you can evaluate.
(b) The following question is a challenge to your ability to fit together your mathematical calculations and physical facts: In (a) you found a finite volume and an infinite area. Suppose you fill the finite volume with a finite amount of paint and then pour off the excess leaving what sticks to the surface. Apparently, you have painted an infinite area with a finite amount of paint! What is wrong? (Compare Problem 15.31c of Chapter 1.)
