Applications to
Physics and Engineering
In this section, we will learn about:
The applications of integral calculus to
force due to water pressure and centers of mass.
APPLICATIONS TO PHYSICS AND ENGINEERING
As with our previous applications to geometry
(areas, volumes, and lengths) and to work,
our strategy is:





Break up the physical quantity into small parts.
Approximate each small part.
Add the results.
Take the limit.
Then, evaluate the resulting integral.
HYDROSTATIC FORCE AND PRESSURE
Deep-sea divers realize that water
pressure increases as they dive deeper.
 This is because the weight of the water
above them increases.
HYDROSTATIC FORCE AND PRESSURE
Suppose that a thin plate with area A m2 is
submerged in a fluid of density ρ kg/m3 at a
depth d meters below the surface of the fluid.
HYDROSTATIC FORCE AND PRESSURE
The fluid directly above the plate has volume
V = Ad
So, its mass is:
m = ρV = ρAd
HYDROSTATIC FORCE
Thus, the force exerted by the fluid on
the plate is
F = mg = ρgAd
where g is the acceleration due to gravity.
HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE
The pressure P on the plate is defined
to be the force per unit area:
F
P    gd
A
HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE
The SI unit for measuring pressure is newtons
per square meter—which is called a pascal
(abbreviation: 1 N/m2 = 1 Pa).
 As this is a small unit, the kilopascal (kPa)
is often used.
HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE
For instance, since the density of water is
ρ = 1000 kg/m3, the pressure at the bottom
of a swimming pool 2 m deep is:
P   gd
 1000 kg/m  9.8 m/s  2 m
 19, 600 Pa
 19.6 kPa

2
HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE
An important principle of fluid pressure is
the experimentally verified fact that, at any
point in a liquid, the pressure is the same in
all directions.
 This is why a diver feels the same pressure
on nose and both ears.
HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE
Equation 1
Thus, the pressure in any direction at
a depth d in a fluid with mass density ρ
is given by:
P   gd   d
HYDROSTATIC FORCE AND PRESSURE
This helps us determine the hydrostatic
force against a vertical plate or wall or dam
in a fluid.
 This is not a straightforward problem.
 The pressure is not constant, but increases
as the depth increases.
HYDROSTATIC F AND P
Example 1
A dam has the shape of the trapezoid
shown below.
 The height is 20 m.
 The width is 50 m at the top and 30 m at the bottom.
HYDROSTATIC F AND P
Example 1
Find the force on the dam due to
hydrostatic pressure if the water level
is 4 m from the top of the dam.
HYDROSTATIC F AND P
Example 1
We choose a vertical x-axis with origin
at the surface of the water.
HYDROSTATIC F AND P
Example 1
The depth of the water is 16 m.
 So, we divide the interval [0, 16] into subintervals
of equal length with endpoints xi.
 We choose
xi*  [xi–1, xi].
HYDROSTATIC F AND P
Example 1
The i th horizontal strip of the dam is
approximated by a rectangle with height Δx
and width wi

HYDROSTATIC F AND P
Example 1
If Ai is the area of the strip, then
Ai  wi x  (46  xi ) x
*
If Δx is small, then the pressure Pi on the i th
strip is almost constant, and we can use
Equation 1 to write:
Pi  1000gxi
*
Example 1
HYDROSTATIC F AND P
The hydrostatic force Fi acting on the i th
strip is the product of the pressure and
the area:
Fi  Pi Ai
 1000 gxi (46  xi ) x

HYDROSTATIC F AND P
Example 2
Find the hydrostatic force on one end of
a cylindrical drum with radius 3 ft, if the drum
is submerged in water
10 ft deep.
HYDROSTATIC F AND P
Example 2
In this example, it is convenient to choose
the axes as shown—so that the origin is
placed at the center
of the drum.
 Then, the circle has
a simple equation:
x2 + y2 = 9
HYDROSTATIC F AND P
Example 2
As in Example 1, we divide the circular
region into horizontal strips of equal width.
Example 2
HYDROSTATIC F AND P
From the equation of the circle, we see that
the length of the i th strip is: 2 9  ( yi* ) 2
So, its area is:
Ai  2 9  ( yi ) y

HYDROSTATIC F AND P
Example 2
The pressure on this strip is approximately
 di  62.5(7  yi )
*
So, the force on the strip is approximately
 di Ai  62.5(7  yi* )2 9  ( yi* ) 2 y
Example 2
HYDROSTATIC F AND P
We get the total force by adding the forces
on all the strips and taking the limit:

the trigonometric substitution y = 3 sin θ.

MOMENTS AND CENTERS OF MASS
Our main objective here is to find the point P
on which a thin plate of any given shape
balances horizontally as shown.
CENTERS OF MASS
This point is called the center of mass
(or center of gravity) of the plate.
CENTERS OF MASS
We first consider the simpler
situation illustrated here.
CENTERS OF MASS
Two masses m1 and m2 are attached to
a rod of negligible mass on opposite sides
of a fulcrum and at distances d1 and d2 from
the fulcrum.
CENTERS OF MASS
Equation 2
The rod will balance if:
m1d1  m2 d2
LAW OF THE LEVER
This is an experimental fact discovered by
Archimedes and called the Law of the Lever.
 Think of a lighter person balancing a heavier one
on a seesaw by sitting farther away from the center.
MOMENTS AND CENTERS OF MASS
Now, suppose that the rod lies along
the x-axis, with m1 at x1 and m2 at x2
and the center of mass at
x.
MOMENTS AND CENTERS OF MASS
Comparing the figures,
we see that:
 d1 = x – x 1
 d2 = x1 – x
Equation 3
CENTERS OF MASS
So, Equation 2 gives:
m1 ( x  x1 )  m2 ( x2  x )
m1 x  m2 x  m1 x1  m2 x2
m1 x1  m2 x2
x
m1  m2
MOMENTS OF MASS
The numbers m1x1 and m2x2 are called
the moments of the masses m1 and m2
(with respect to the origin).
MOMENTS OF MASS
m1 x1  m2 x2
x
m1  m2
Equation 3 says that the center of mass x
is obtained by:
1. Adding the moments of the masses
2. Dividing by the total mass m = m1 + m2
CENTERS OF MASS
Equation 4
In general, suppose we have a system of n
particles with masses m1, m2, . . . , mn located
at the points x1, x2, . . . , xn on the x-axis.
Then, we can show where the center of mass
of the system is located—as follows.
Equation 4
CENTERS OF MASS
The center of mass of the system is
located at

where m = Σ mi is the total mass of
the system.
MOMENT OF SYSTEM ABOUT ORIGIN
The sum of the individual moments
n
M   mi xi
i 1
is called the moment of the system
about the origin.
MOMENT OF SYSTEM ABOUT ORIGIN
Then, Equation 4 could be rewritten
as:
mx =M
 This means that, if the total mass were considered
as being concentrated at the center of mass x ,
then its moment would be the same as the moment
of the system.
MOMENTS AND CENTERS OF MASS
Now, we consider a system of n particles with
masses m1, m2, . . . , mn located at the points
(x1, y1), (x2, y2) . . . , (xn, yn) in the xy-plane.
Equations 5 and 6
MOMENT ABOUT AXES
By analogy with the one-dimensional case,
we define the moment of the system about
the y-axis as
n
M y   mi xi
i 1
and the moment of the system about
the x-axis as
n
M x   mi yi
i 1
MOMENT ABOUT AXES
My measures the tendency of the system
to rotate about the y-axis.
Mx measures the tendency of the system
to rotate about the x-axis.
Equation 7
CENTERS OF MASS
As in the one-dimensional case,
the coordinates ( x , y ) of the center of mass
are given in terms of the moments by
the formulas
x
My
m
Mx
y
m
where m = ∑ mi is the total mass.
MOMENTS AND CENTERS OF MASS
Since mx  M y and my  M x ,
the center of mass ( x , y ) is the point
where a single particle of mass m would
have the same moments as the system.
MOMENTS & CENTERS OF MASS
Example 3
Find the moments and center of mass
of the system of objects that have masses
3, 4, and 8 at the points (–1, 1), (2, –1) and
(3, 2) respectively.
MOMENTS & CENTERS OF MASS
Example 3
We use Equations 5 and 6 to compute
the moments:
M y  3(1)  4(2)  8(3)  29
M x  3(1)  4(1)  8(2)  15

CENTROIDS
Next, we consider a flat plate, called
a lamina, with uniform density ρ that
occupies a region R of the plane.
 We wish to locate the center of mass of the plate,
which is called the centroid of R .
CENTROIDS
In doing so, we use
the following physical
principles.
CENTROIDS
The symmetry principle says that, if R is
symmetric about a line l, then the centroid
of R lies on l.
 If R is reflected about l, then R remains the same
so its centroid remains fixed.
 However, the only fixed points lie on l.
 Thus, the centroid of a rectangle is its center.
CENTROIDS
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.
CENTROIDS
Also, the moment of the union of two
non-overlapping regions should be
the sum of the moments of the individual
regions.
CENTROIDS
Suppose that the region R is of the type
shown here.
That is, R lies:
 Between the lines
x = a and x = b
 Above the x-axis
 Beneath the graph
of f, where f is a
continuous function
CENTROIDS
We divide the interval [a, b] into n subintervals
with endpoints x0, x1, . . . , xn and equal width
∆x.
 We choose the
sample point xi* to
be the midpoint xi
of the i th
subinterval.
 That is,
xi = (xi–1 + xi)/2
CENTROIDS
This determines the polygonal
approximation to R shown below.
CENTROIDS
The centroid of the i th approximating
rectangle Ri is its center Ci ( xi , 1 f ( xi )) .
2
Its area is:
f( x i ) ∆x
So, its mass is:
 f ( xi ) x
CENTROIDS
The moment of Ri about the y-axis is
the product of its mass and the distance
from Ci to the y-axis,
which is xi .
CENTROIDS
Therefore,
M y ( Ri )    f ( xi )x  xi
  xi f ( xi )x
CENTROIDS
Adding these moments, we
obtain the moment of the polygonal
approximation to R .
CENTROIDS
Then, by taking the limit as n → ∞,
we obtain the moment of R itself about
the y-axis:
n
M y  lim   xi f ( xi ) x
n 
b
i 1
   x f ( x) dx

CENTROIDS
Similarly, we compute the moment of Ri
about the x-axis as the product of its mass
and the distance from Ci to the x-axis:
M x ( Ri )    f ( xi )x  12 f ( xi )
 

 f ( xi )

Again, we add these moments and take
the limit to obtain the moment of R about

CENTROIDS
Just as for systems of particles,
the center of mass of the plate is
defined so that
mx  M y and my  M x
CENTROIDS
However, the mass of the plate is
the product of its density and its area:
m  A

Example 4
Here, there is no need to use the formula

 By the symmetry principle, the center of mass
must lie on the y-axis, so x  0 .

We end this section by showing
a surprising connection between
centroids and volumes of revolution.
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 .
THEOREM OF PAPPUS
Proof
We give the proof for the special case
in which the region lies between y = f(x)
and y = g(x) as shown and the line l
is the y-axis.

 d  2 x is the distance traveled by the centroid
during one rotation about the y-axis.
THEOREM OF PAPPUS
Example 7
A torus is formed by rotating a circle of
radius r about a line in the plane of the circle
that is a distance R(> r) from the center of
the circle.
Find the volume of the torus.
THEOREM OF PAPPUS
Example 7
The circle has area A = πr2.
By the symmetry principle, its centroid is
its center.
 So, the distance traveled by the centroid during
a rotation is d = 2πR.

Therefore, by the Theorem of Pappus,
the volume of the torus is:
