Case study 2: Read the following and answer the question(Case study application of integral 2)
An architect designs a building whose lift (elevator ) is from outside of the building attached to the walls. The floor (base ) of the lift (elevator) is in semicircular shape. The floor of the elevator (lift) whose circular edge is given by the equation $x^2+y^2 = 4$ and the straight edge(line) is given by the equation y = 0.
(i) Region bounded by the circular edge and the straight edge(line) has points of intersection as
(a) (-2, 0) and (2, 0) (b) (0, 2) and (0, -2)
(c) (0, 0) and (4, 0) (d) (-4, 0) and (4, 0)
(ii) Length of each vertical strip of the region bounded by the given curves is given by
(a) (b)
(c) (d)
(iii) The area of vertical strip between given circular edge and stright edge, is given by
(a) (b)
(c) (d)
(iv) The area of horizontal strip between given circular strip and the straight edge, is given by
(a) (b)
(c) (d)
(v) The area of the region of the floor of the lift of the building is (in square units)
(a) (b)
(c) (d)
Solution: (i) Answer(a)
Given curve for circle and straight line are
x² + y² = 4 ——-(i)
y = 0 ———(ii)
∴ From (i) and (ii) we have
x² = 4 ⇒ x = ±2
∴ Points of intersection are (2, 0) and (-2, 0)
(ii) Answer (c)
Given curve , is circle whose equation is
x² + y² = 4 ——-(i)
It is a circle
y² = 4 – x² ⇒ y = √(4 – x²)
and y = 0 —–(ii)
it represents x – axis
Length of vertical strip is
y = √(4 – x²)
(iii) Answer (b)
We have
Area of one vertical strip
= y.dx = √(4 – x²).dx
(iv) Answer (b)
We have
Area of hozontal strip
= x.dy
= √(4 – y²).dy
(v) Answer (c)
We have
Area of the floor
sq.units

Case study 1: Read the following and answer the question.(Case study application of integral 1)
Nowadays, almost every boat has a triangular sail. By using a triangular sail design it has become possible to travel against the wind using a technique known as tacking. Tacking allows the boat to travel forward with r
triangular sail on the walls and three edges(lines) at the triangular sail are given by the equation x = 0, y = 0 and y + 2x – 4 = 0 respectively.
