Exam questions on Arc length and surface area of revolution

  1. The curve CC has equation y=23x3/2y=\frac23x^{3/2} for 0≤x≤30\le x\le3.
    Find the exact length of CC.2 marks
  2. The curve CC has equation y=xy=\sqrt x for 0≤x≤20\le x\le2. It is rotated through 2π2\pi radians about the xx-axis to form a surface.
    Write down an integral, in terms of xx, for the area of the surface formed when CC is rotated through 2π2\pi about the yy-axis. Do not evaluate it.2 marks
  3. A curve CC is given parametrically by x=3t2x=3t^2, y=2t3y=2t^3 for 0≤t≤10\le t\le1.
    Show that the length of CC is given by ∫016t1+t2 dt\int_0^1 6t\sqrt{1+t^2}\,dt.3 marks
