[In this question, all measurements of length are in metres.] A monument is to be constructed which comprises two parts – the main structure and the base. The main structure is in the form of the solid obtained when the region RR bounded by the curves y=3sin⁡(2x2)y = 3 \sin\left(2x^2\right) and y=x2y = x^2, and the line x=π8x = \sqrt{\frac{\pi}{8}} is rotated by 2π2\pi radians about the yy-axis. (See Figure 1.) The main structure is to be mounted on top of a base which is a solid of uniform thickness. The horizontal cross-sectional area of the base is in the shape of region QQ, bounded by the curve y=8x1+x3y = \frac{8\sqrt{x}}{1+x^3} and the curve y=4x72y = 4x^{\frac{7}{2}}. (See Figure 2.)

  1. (a)

    Show that ∫0psin⁡−1t3  dt=psin⁡−1p3+9−p2−3\int_{0}^{p} \sin^{-1} \frac{t}{3} \; \mathrm{d}t = p \sin^{-1} \frac{p}{3} + \sqrt{9 - p^2} - 3, where pp is a real constant.

  2. (b)

    Using the result from part (a), find the exact volume of the main structure.

  3. (c)

    Find the area of region QQ, giving your answer correct to 1 decimal place.

  4. (d)

    The main structure is to be made of granite while the base is to be made of marble. An area of region QQ will eventually be in contact with the ground. Owing to the softness of the ground on which this monument will be placed on, a special foundation needs to be built if its total weight per square metre on the ground beneath exceeds 20 kN/m2^2.

    Some relevant information:

    • Density of granite: 1463.46 kg/m3^3
    • Density of marble: 2550 kg/m3^3
    • 1000 kg is equivalent to 9.81 kN (kN = kilo-Newtons)

    The engineer in-charge of building this monument claims that as long as the thickness of the base does not exceed 70 cm, there will be no need to build the special foundation. How accurate is the engineer's claim? Justify your answer.

1. Set up the integration by parts.

Let u=sin⁡−1(t3)u = \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{t}{3}\right) and dvdt=1\frac{\mathrm{d}v}{\mathrm{d}t} = 1.

Then, differentiating uu with respect to tt using the chain rule:
dudt=11−(t3)2⋅13=19−t29⋅13=39−t2⋅13=19−t2\frac{\mathrm{d}u}{\mathrm{d}t} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - \left(\frac{t}{3}\right)^2}} \cdot \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\frac{9-t^2}{9}}} \cdot \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3}{\sqrt{9-t^2}} \cdot \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{9-t^2}}

Integrating dvdt\frac{\mathrm{d}v}{\mathrm{d}t} with respect to tt:
v=tv = t

Applying the integration by parts formula ∫udvdt dt=uv−∫vdudt dt\int u \frac{\mathrm{d}v}{\mathrm{d}t} \, \mathrm{d}t = uv - \int v \frac{\mathrm{d}u}{\mathrm{d}t} \, \mathrm{d}t:
∫sin⁡−1(t3)  dt=tsin⁡−1(t3)−∫t9−t2  dt\int \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{t}{3}\right) \; \mathrm{d}t = t \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{t}{3}\right) - \int \frac{t}{\sqrt{9 - t^2}} \; \mathrm{d}t

2. Integrate the remaining algebraic term.

Notice that the derivative of the inner function 9−t29 - t^2 is −2t-2t. We manipulate the integral to use the standard form ∫f′(t)[f(t)]n dt\int \mathrm{f}'(t)[\mathrm{f}(t)]^n \, \mathrm{d}t:

∫t9−t2  dt=−12∫−2t(9−t2)−12  dt\int \frac{t}{\sqrt{9 - t^2}} \; \mathrm{d}t = -\frac{1}{2} \int -2t (9 - t^2)^{-\frac{1}{2}} \; \mathrm{d}t
=−12[(9−t2)1212]=−9−t2= -\frac{1}{2} \left[ \frac{(9 - t^2)^{\frac{1}{2}}}{\frac{1}{2}} \right] = -\sqrt{9 - t^2}

Substituting this back into the integration by parts result:
∫sin⁡−1(t3)  dt=tsin⁡−1(t3)+9−t2+C\int \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{t}{3}\right) \; \mathrm{d}t = t \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{t}{3}\right) + \sqrt{9 - t^2} + C

3. Evaluate the definite integral with the given limits $0$ to $p$.

∫0psin⁡−1(t3)  dt=[tsin⁡−1(t3)+9−t2]0p\int_{0}^{p} \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{t}{3}\right) \; \mathrm{d}t = \left[ t \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{t}{3}\right) + \sqrt{9 - t^2} \right]_{0}^{p}
=(psin⁡−1(p3)+9−p2)−(0⋅sin⁡−1(0)+9−02)= \left( p \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{p}{3}\right) + \sqrt{9 - p^2} \right) - \left( 0 \cdot \sin^{-1}(0) + \sqrt{9 - 0^2} \right)
=psin⁡−1(p3)+9−p2−9= p \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{p}{3}\right) + \sqrt{9 - p^2} - \sqrt{9}
=psin⁡−1(p3)+9−p2−3(Shown)= p \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{p}{3}\right) + \sqrt{9 - p^2} - 3 \quad \text{(Shown)}

1. Express $x^2$ in terms of $y$ for the boundary curves to prepare for integration with respect to $y$.

For the upper curve:
y=3sin⁡(2x2)  ⟹  y3=sin⁡(2x2)  ⟹  2x2=sin⁡−1(y3)  ⟹  x2=12sin⁡−1(y3)y = 3\sin(2x^2) \implies \frac{y}{3} = \sin(2x^2) \implies 2x^2 = \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{y}{3}\right) \implies x^2 = \frac{1}{2}\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{y}{3}\right)

For the lower curve:
y=x2  ⟹  x2=yy = x^2 \implies x^2 = y

2. Determine the $y$-coordinates of the region's boundaries.

At the right boundary x=π8x = \sqrt{\frac{\pi}{8}}, the yy-coordinates are:
Lower curve: y=(π8)2=π8y = \left(\sqrt{\frac{\pi}{8}}\right)^2 = \frac{\pi}{8}
Upper curve: y=3sin⁡(2(π8)2)=3sin⁡(π4)=32y = 3\sin\left(2\left(\sqrt{\frac{\pi}{8}}\right)^2\right) = 3\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}

3. Set up the definite integral for the exact volume using the disc method.

The region is rotated about the yy-axis, so V=π∫(xR2−xL2) dyV = \pi \int (x_R^2 - x_L^2) \, \mathrm{d}y.
The left boundary is the upper curve xL2=12sin⁡−1(y3)x_L^2 = \frac{1}{2}\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{y}{3}\right) for 0≤y≤320 \le y \le \frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}.
The right boundary changes along the region: it is the lower curve xR2=yx_R^2 = y for 0≤y≤π80 \le y \le \frac{\pi}{8}, and the vertical line xR2=π8x_R^2 = \frac{\pi}{8} for π8≤y≤32\frac{\pi}{8} \le y \le \frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}.

V=π∫0π8(y−12sin⁡−1(y3))dy+π∫π832(π8−12sin⁡−1(y3))dyV = \pi \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{8}} \left( y - \frac{1}{2}\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{y}{3}\right) \right) \mathrm{d}y + \pi \int_{\frac{\pi}{8}}^{\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}} \left( \frac{\pi}{8} - \frac{1}{2}\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{y}{3}\right) \right) \mathrm{d}y

Separating the outer and inner volume integrals:
V=π(∫0π8y dy+∫π832π8 dy)−π2∫032sin⁡−1(y3)dyV = \pi \left( \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{8}} y \, \mathrm{d}y + \int_{\frac{\pi}{8}}^{\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}} \frac{\pi}{8} \, \mathrm{d}y \right) - \frac{\pi}{2} \int_{0}^{\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}} \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{y}{3}\right) \mathrm{d}y

4. Evaluate the polynomial integrals for the outer volume component.

∫0π8y dy=[y22]0π8=π2128\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{8}} y \, \mathrm{d}y = \left[ \frac{y^2}{2} \right]_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{8}} = \frac{\pi^2}{128}
∫π832π8 dy=π8(32−π8)=32π16−π264\int_{\frac{\pi}{8}}^{\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}} \frac{\pi}{8} \, \mathrm{d}y = \frac{\pi}{8} \left( \frac{3}{\sqrt{2}} - \frac{\pi}{8} \right) = \frac{3\sqrt{2}\pi}{16} - \frac{\pi^2}{64}

Outer Volume =π(π2128+32π16−π264)=32π216−π3128= \pi \left( \frac{\pi^2}{128} + \frac{3\sqrt{2}\pi}{16} - \frac{\pi^2}{64} \right) = \frac{3\sqrt{2}\pi^2}{16} - \frac{\pi^3}{128}

5. Apply the result from part (a) to evaluate the inner volume and find the final exact volume.

Using the given result from part (a) with p=32p = \frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}:
∫032sin⁡−1(t3)dt=32sin⁡−1(12)+9−(32)2−3\int_{0}^{\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}} \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{t}{3}\right) \mathrm{d}t = \frac{3}{\sqrt{2}} \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right) + \sqrt{9 - \left(\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^2} - 3
=32(π4)+4.5−3=32π8+322−3= \frac{3}{\sqrt{2}} \left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) + \sqrt{4.5} - 3 = \frac{3\sqrt{2}\pi}{8} + \frac{3\sqrt{2}}{2} - 3

Inner Volume =π2(32π8+322−3)=32π216+32π4−3π2= \frac{\pi}{2} \left( \frac{3\sqrt{2}\pi}{8} + \frac{3\sqrt{2}}{2} - 3 \right) = \frac{3\sqrt{2}\pi^2}{16} + \frac{3\sqrt{2}\pi}{4} - \frac{3\pi}{2}

Subtracting the Inner Volume from the Outer Volume:
V=(32π216−π3128)−(32π216+32π4−3π2)V = \left( \frac{3\sqrt{2}\pi^2}{16} - \frac{\pi^3}{128} \right) - \left( \frac{3\sqrt{2}\pi^2}{16} + \frac{3\sqrt{2}\pi}{4} - \frac{3\pi}{2} \right)
V=3π2−32π4−π3128V = \frac{3\pi}{2} - \frac{3\sqrt{2}\pi}{4} - \frac{\pi^3}{128}

1. Find the $x$-coordinate of the non-zero point of intersection of the two curves.

8x1+x3=4x72\frac{8\sqrt{x}}{1+x^3} = 4x^{\frac{7}{2}}
2x=x72(1+x3)2\sqrt{x} = x^{\frac{7}{2}}(1+x^3)
For x>0x > 0, divide both sides by x\sqrt{x} (which is x12x^{\frac{1}{2}}):
2=x3(1+x3)2 = x^3(1+x^3)
x6+x3−2=0x^6 + x^3 - 2 = 0
(x3−1)(x3+2)=0(x^3 - 1)(x^3 + 2) = 0
Since xx is real and positive in the first quadrant, x3=1  ⟹  x=1x^3 = 1 \implies x = 1.

2. Set up the definite integral for the area of region $Q$.

From Figure 2, the curve y=8x1+x3y = \frac{8\sqrt{x}}{1+x^3} lies above the curve y=4x72y = 4x^{\frac{7}{2}} for 0≤x≤10 \le x \le 1.
Area=∫01(8x1+x3−4x72)dx\text{Area} = \int_{0}^{1} \left( \frac{8\sqrt{x}}{1+x^3} - 4x^{\frac{7}{2}} \right) \mathrm{d}x

3. Evaluate the integral and round to 1 decimal place.

Using a graphing calculator to evaluate the definite integral directly:
Area≈3.2999 m2\text{Area} \approx 3.2999 \text{ m}^2
Area=3.3 m2 (correct to 1 d.p.)\text{Area} = 3.3 \text{ m}^2 \text{ (correct to 1 d.p.)}

(Note: Evaluating exactly via the substitution u=x32u = x^{\frac{3}{2}} yields [163tan⁡−1(x32)−89x92]01=4π3−89≈3.3\left[ \frac{16}{3}\tan^{-1}\left(x^{\frac{3}{2}}\right) - \frac{8}{9}x^{\frac{9}{2}} \right]_0^1 = \frac{4\pi}{3} - \frac{8}{9} \approx 3.3)

1. Calculate the exact volume of the main structure (from part b).

Using the washer method for region RR rotated about the yy-axis, the boundaries are x=12sin⁡−1(y3)x = \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{y}{3}\right)} and x=yx = \sqrt{y} for y∈[0,π8]y \in [0, \frac{\pi}{8}], and x=π8x = \sqrt{\frac{\pi}{8}} for y∈[π8,32]y \in [\frac{\pi}{8}, \frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}].
VR=∫0π8π(y−12sin⁡−1(y3))dy+∫π832π(π8−12sin⁡−1(y3))dyV_R = \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{8}} \pi \left( y - \frac{1}{2}\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{y}{3}\right) \right) \mathrm{d}y + \int_{\frac{\pi}{8}}^{\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}} \pi \left( \frac{\pi}{8} - \frac{1}{2}\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{y}{3}\right) \right) \mathrm{d}y
Using the integral result from (a), this evaluates to:
VR=3π2−3π24−π3128≈1.13799 m3V_R = \frac{3\pi}{2} - \frac{3\pi\sqrt{2}}{4} - \frac{\pi^3}{128} \approx 1.13799 \text{ m}^3

2. Calculate the exact area of the base, region $Q$ (from part c).

Find the intersection point of the curves:
8x1+x3=4x72  ⟹  2=x3(1+x3)  ⟹  x=1\frac{8\sqrt{x}}{1+x^3} = 4x^{\frac{7}{2}} \implies 2 = x^3(1+x^3) \implies x = 1
AQ=∫01(8x1+x3−4x72)dxA_Q = \int_0^1 \left( \frac{8\sqrt{x}}{1+x^3} - 4x^{\frac{7}{2}} \right) \mathrm{d}x
Using the substitution u=x32u = x^{\frac{3}{2}} for the first term:
AQ=163[tan⁡−1u]01−[89x92]01=4π3−89≈3.29990 m2A_Q = \frac{16}{3} \big[ \tan^{-1} u \big]_0^1 - \left[ \frac{8}{9}x^{\frac{9}{2}} \right]_0^1 = \frac{4\pi}{3} - \frac{8}{9} \approx 3.29990 \text{ m}^2

3. Determine the mass and total weight of the monument assuming the maximum claimed base thickness of 70 cm.

Mass of granite main structure:
1.13799×1463.46≈1665.4 kg1.13799 \times 1463.46 \approx 1665.4 \text{ kg}
Weight of main structure:
1665.41000×9.81≈16.338 kN\frac{1665.4}{1000} \times 9.81 \approx 16.338 \text{ kN}
For a base thickness of h=0.70 mh = 0.70 \text{ m}, the volume of the marble base is:
Vbase=AQ×0.70≈3.29990×0.70≈2.30993 m3V_{\text{base}} = A_Q \times 0.70 \approx 3.29990 \times 0.70 \approx 2.30993 \text{ m}^3
Mass of marble base:
2.30993×2550≈5890.3 kg2.30993 \times 2550 \approx 5890.3 \text{ kg}
Weight of marble base:
5890.31000×9.81≈57.784 kN\frac{5890.3}{1000} \times 9.81 \approx 57.784 \text{ kN}
Total weight of the monument:
Wtotal=16.338+57.784=74.122 kNW_{\text{total}} = 16.338 + 57.784 = 74.122 \text{ kN}

4. Calculate the weight per square metre and conclude on the engineer's claim.

The weight per square metre on the ground is the total weight divided by the base contact area AQA_Q:
Pressure=74.1223.29990≈22.46 kN/m2\text{Pressure} = \frac{74.122}{3.29990} \approx 22.46 \text{ kN/m}^2
Since 22.46 kN/m2>20 kN/m222.46 \text{ kN/m}^2 > 20 \text{ kN/m}^2, the total weight per square metre exceeds the allowable limit when the thickness is 70 cm70 \text{ cm}. Thus, the engineer's claim is inaccurate.

Answer

The engineer's claim is inaccurate because at a thickness of 70 cm70 \text{ cm}, the total weight per square metre is approximately 22.5 kN/m222.5 \text{ kN/m}^2, which exceeds the limit of 20 kN/m220 \text{ kN/m}^2.
