Chapter 5: Q33P (page 248)

A lamina covering the quarter disk $x^{2} + y^{2} \leq 4, x > 0, y > 0$ has (area) density . Find the mass of the lamina.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The mass of the lamina is, $\frac{16}{3} \cdot$

Step by step solution

Definition of double integral and mass formula

The double integral of $f (x, y)$ over the areaA in the $(x, y)$ plane as the limit of this sum, and we write it as $\int \int_{A} f (x, y) dxdy$

Using the double integral the mass of the lamina: $M = \int \int_{A} ρdA .$

Calculation of the mass of the lamina

To get the mass of the lamina, the area of integration is the quarter-circle with a radius $R = 2$ .

The integrals:

$M = \int \int_{A} ρdA = \int \int_{A} (x + y) dxdy$

Further calculation of the mass of the lamina

Change into the polar coordinate system,

$M = \int_{0}^{2} \int_{0}^{π / 2} r (\cos θ + \sin θ) rdrdθ = \int_{0}^{2} r^{2} dr \int_{0}^{π / 2} (\cos θ + \sin θ) dθ = {\frac{8}{3} (sinθ - cosθ)}_{0}^{π / 2} = \frac{8}{3} (1 - 0 - 0 + 1) = \frac{16}{3}$

Therefore, the mass of the lamina is, $\frac{16}{3}$ .
