Question

Question 6. [4 points] a) A very skinny 2m-long snake has density ?(x) kg/m at a distance x from the head of the snake, where ?(x) = 2x - x^2. What is the total mass of the snake? b) A less skinny 2m-long snake's body is given by rotating the function y = e^{-x/2}/10, 0 ? x ? 2 about the x-axis (the units of y is also m). What is the volume of this snake?

Step 1

The density function is given as \(p(z) = 21\) kg/m. The total mass can be calculated by integrating the density function over the length of the snake, which is from 0 to 2m. ** Show more…
