Arc Length. Surface Area Calculus 2 Lia Vas Arc Length. Surface Area. Arc Length. Suppose that y = f(x) is a continuous function with a continuous derivative on [a; b]: The arc length L of f(x) for a ≤ x ≤ b can be obtained by integrating the length element ds from a to b: The length element ds on a sufficiently small interval can be approximated by the hypotenuse of a triangle with sides dx and dy: p Thus ds2 = dx2 + dy2 ) ds = dx2 + dy2 and so s s Z b Z b q Z b dy2 Z b dy2 L = ds = dx2 + dy2 = (1 + )dx2 = (1 + )dx: a a a dx2 a dx2 2 dy2 dy 0 2 Note that dx2 = dx = (y ) : So the formula for the arc length becomes Z b q L = 1 + (y0)2 dx: a Area of a surface of revolution. Suppose that y = f(x) is a continuous function with a continuous derivative on [a; b]: To compute the surface area Sx of the surface obtained by rotating f(x) about x-axis on [a; b]; we can integrate the surface area element dS which can be approximated as the product of the circumference 2πy of the circle with radius y and the height that is given by q the arc length element ds: Since ds is 1 + (y0)2dx; the formula that computes the surface area is Z b q 0 2 Sx = 2πy 1 + (y ) dx: a If y = f(x) is rotated about y-axis on [a; b]; then dS is the product of the circumference 2πx of the circle with radius x and the height that is given by the arc length element ds: Thus, the formula that computes the surface area is Z b q 0 2 Sy = 2πx 1 + (y ) dx: a Practice Problems. 1 1.

Using the inequality 1 + x4 > 1; demonstrate that this surface has infinite surface area. Then find the volume enclosed by this surface and show it is finite. In Calculus 3, we will encounter another example of a similar phenomenon: a fractal object called Koch snowflake with infinite perimeter that encloses a finite area.

Learn about the Math A prism is a polyhedron (solid whose faces are polygons) whose bases are congruent and parallel. When trying to identify a right prism, ask yourself if this solid could have right prism been created by placing many congruent sheets of paper on prism that has bases aligned one above the top of each other. If so, this is a right prism. Some examples other and has lateral of right prisms are shown below. faces that are rectangles Triangular prism Rectangular prism The surface area of a right prism can be calculated using the following formula: SA 5 2B 1 hP, where B is the area of the base, h is the height of the prism, and P is the perimeter of the base. The lateral area of a figure is the area of the non-base faces lateral area only. When a prism has its bases facing up and down, the area of the non-base faces of a figure lateral area is the area of the vertical faces. (For a rectangular prism, any pair of opposite faces can be bases.) The lateral area of a right prism can be calculated by multiplying the perimeter of the base by the height of the prism.

  • Why Cells Are Small: Surface Area to Volume Ratios
    Name__________________________________ Why Cells are Small: Surface Area to Volume Ratios Today’s lab is about the size of cells. To understand this, we first have to understand surface area to volume ratios. Let’s start with surface area. Get a box of sugar cubes. The surface area of the cube is calculated by finding the area (length x width) of one side. But we want to know the whole surface. On a cube, there are 6 sides, so we multiply that area x 6. So Surface area of a cube = length x width x 6 Volume is another simple calculation – we just multiply length x width x height. Build the following four structures from your sugar cubes, and fill out the table below. The one we’re most interested in, though is the surface area to volume ratio, which is just Surface area ÷ volume A B C D 1 UNIT 2 UNITS 3 4 UNITS OR CM UNITS Figure Total number Surface area of Volume of Surface area to Total surface of Cubes figure figure Volume Ratio of individual (=6 x length x (= length x ( = SA / V) cubes* width) width x height) (= 6 * # cubes) A 1 6 1 6 1 B 8 24 8 3 48 C 27 54 27 2 162 64 96 64 1.5 384 D *because surface area of one cube is 6 Surface Area to Volume Lab Questions 1.

    Surface Area of 3-d Objects: Prisms: A prism is a polyhedron with two opposite faces that are identical polygonal regions called the bases. The vertices of the bases are joined with segments to form the lateral faces which are parallelograms. If the lateral faces are rectangles, the prism is called a right prism, otherwise, it’s called an oblique prism. oblique right The surface area is the sum of the areas of the two bases and the areas of the lateral faces.

  • Surface Area of a Sphere in This Example We Will Complete the Calculation of the Area of a Surface of Rotation
    Surface Area of a Sphere In this example we will complete the calculation of the area of a surface of rotation. If we’re going to go to the effort to complete the integral, the answer should be a nice one; one we can remember. It turns out that calculating the surface area of a sphere gives us just such an answer. We’ll think of our sphere as a surface of revolution formed by revolving a half circle of radius a about the x-axis. We’ll be integrating with respect to x, and we’ll let the bounds on our integral be x1 and x2 with −a ≤ x1 ≤ x2 ≤ a as sketched in Figure 1. x1 x2 Figure 1: Part of the surface of a sphere. Remember that in an earlier example we computed the length of an infinites­ imal segment of a circular arc of radius 1: r 1 ds = dx 1 − x2 In this example we let the radius equal a so that we can see how the surface area depends on the radius. Hence: p y = a2 − x2 −x y0 = p a2 − x2 r x2 ds = 1 + dx a2 − x2 r a2 − x2 + x2 = dx a2 − x2 r a2 = dx: 2 2 a − x The formula for the surface area indicated in Figure 1 is: Z x2 Area = 2πy ds x1 1 ds y z }| { x r Z 2 z }| { a2 p 2 2 = 2π a − x dx 2 2 x1 a − x Z x2 a p 2 2 = 2π a − x p dx 2 2 x1 a − x Z x2 = 2πa dx x1 = 2πa(x2 − x1): Special Cases When possible, we should test our results by plugging in values to see if our answer is reasonable.

  • A Geometric Theory of Surface Area Part II: Triangulable Parametric Surfaces
    Monatshefte f'dr Matheraatik 76, 66--77 (1972) by Springer-Verlag 1972 A Geometric Theory of Surface Area Part II: Triangulable Parametric Surfaces By L.V. Toralballa, Mew York, 5IY, USA (Received January 7, 1971) A~ In [1] we presented a geometric theory of the area of non- parametric surfaces. We showed that this theory is equivalent to the analytic theory of LEBESOUE for such surfaces. In the present paper we extend this geometric theory to triangulable parametric surfaces. Since every surface may be thought of as a parametric surface and as one may expect that the transition from triangulable surfaces to non-triangulable ones may be made by a limit process, the present theory may be considered as an introduction to a general geometric theory of surface area. We shall use the term parametri~ surface to mean the locus in d~z of a system of simultaneous equations x=f(u,v), g=g(u,v), z =-h(u,v), these functions being defined and continuous on E, a closed set in the ~ v plane consisting of the interior and the boundary of a closed simple polygon, this set being a minimal preimage of the given surface. We shall make use of triangular polyhedra inscribed in the given surface and such that every face of the polyhedra has an angle which lies between a prescribed angle and ~r--~, 0 <q <~. We refer to such polyhedra as admissible polyhedra. However, since we limit our discussions to such poly- hedra, we shall omit the term ,,admissible", except when we wish to make special emphasis of it.
