Applications to Physics and Engineering Among the many applications of integral calculus to physics and engineering, we will consider two today: Force due to water pressure Center of mass Our strategy is to break up the physical quantity into a large number of small parts, approximate each small part, add the results, take the limit, and then evaluate the resulting integral. 8.3 Applications to Physics and Engineering Erickson

Hydrostatic Force and Pressure Water pressure increases the father down your go because the weight of the water above increases. In general, we will submerge a thin horizontal plate with area of A m2 in a fluid of density  kg/m3 at a depth d m below the surface of the fluid. The fluid above the plate has a volume V = Ad so its mass is m = V = Ad. The force exerted by the fluid on the plate is: F = mg = gAd 8.3 Applications to Physics and Engineering Erickson

Hydrostatic Force and Pressure The force exerted by the fluid on the plate is: F = mg = gAd = Pd Where A is the area of a thin plate  is the fluid density in kg/m3 d is the depth in meters below the surface of the fluid. The Pressure P on the plate is defined to be the force per unit area: P = F/A = gd The SI units for measuring pressure is newtons per square meter which is called pascal. (1 N/m2 = 1 Pa) Water’s weight density is 62.5 lb/ft2 or 1000kg/m3 8.3 Applications to Physics and Engineering Erickson

Force Exerted by a Fluid The force F exerted by a fluid of a constant weight- density w against a submerged vertical plane region from y = c to y = d is Where w=  g, h(y) is the depth of the fluid and L(y) is the horizontal length of the region at y. Note: This integral comes from identifying the vertical axis as the y-axis. 8.3 Applications to Physics and Engineering Erickson

Force Exerted by a Fluid You can create a similar integral by choosing the vertical axis to be x. The force F exerted by a fluid of a constant weight-density w against a submerged vertical plane region from x = a to x = b is Where w=  g, h(x) is the depth of the fluid and L(x) is the horizontal length of the region at x. 8.3 Applications to Physics and Engineering Erickson

Moments and Centers of Mass We can find the point P on which a thin plate of any given shape balances horizontally. This point is called the center of mass or center of gravity of the plate. 8.3 Applications to Physics and Engineering Erickson

Moments and Centers of Mass The rod below will balance if m1d1=m2d2. The numbers m1d1 and m2d2 are called the moments of the masses. 8.3 Applications to Physics and Engineering Erickson

Moments and Centers of Mass If we put the rod along the x-axis, we will be able to solve for point P, The numbers m1d1 and m2d2 are called the moments of the masses 8.3 Applications to Physics and Engineering Erickson

Moments and Centers of Mass Moment of the system about the origin Moment of the system about the y-axis Moment of the system about the x-axis In one dimensions, the coordinates of the center of mass are given by 8.3 Applications to Physics and Engineering Erickson

Moments and Centers of Mass Now we will consider a flat plate (lamina) with uniform density  that occupies a region R of the plane. The center of mass of the plate is called the centroid of R. They symmetry principle says that if R is symmetric about a line l, then The centroid of R lies on l. Moments should be defined so that if the entire mass of a region is concentrated at the center of mass, then its moments remain unchanged. The moment of the union of two non overlapping regions should be the sum of the moments if the individual regions. 8.3 Applications to Physics and Engineering Erickson

Moments and Centers of Mass So we have the moment of R about the y-axis: The moment of R about the x-axis: 8.3 Applications to Physics and Engineering Erickson

Theorem of Pappus Let R be a plane region that lies entirely on one side of a line l in the plane. If R is rotated about l, then the volume of the resulting solid is the product of the area A of R and the distance d traveled by the centroid of R. 8.3 Applications to Physics and Engineering Erickson
