Here are the solutions to the questions.

Part 1

Given the curve y=(1−x2/3)3y = \sqrt{(1 - x^{2/3})^3} for 0≤x≤10 \le x \le 1.

Part i· 5 steps

Show that the length of the curve C is 3/23/2.

  1. Rewrite the curve equation.

    The given curve is y=(1−x2/3)3/2y = (1 - x^{2/3})^{3/2}.
    To find the arc length, we need to calculate dydx\frac{dy}{dx}.

  2. Differentiate yy with respect to xx.

    dydx=32(1−x2/3)1/2⋅(−23x2/3−1)\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{3}{2} (1 - x^{2/3})^{1/2} \cdot \left(-\frac{2}{3} x^{2/3 - 1}\right) dydx=32(1−x2/3)1/2⋅(−23x−1/3)\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{3}{2} (1 - x^{2/3})^{1/2} \cdot \left(-\frac{2}{3} x^{-1/3}\right) dydx=−x−1/3(1−x2/3)1/2\frac{dy}{dx} = -x^{-1/3} (1 - x^{2/3})^{1/2}
  3. Calculate (dydx)2\left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^2.

    (dydx)2=(−x−1/3(1−x2/3)1/2)2\left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^2 = (-x^{-1/3} (1 - x^{2/3})^{1/2})^2 (dydx)2=x−2/3(1−x2/3)\left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^2 = x^{-2/3} (1 - x^{2/3}) (dydx)2=x−2/3−1\left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^2 = x^{-2/3} - 1
  4. Set up the arc length integral.

    The arc length LL is given by the formula:

    L=∫ab1+(dydx)2 dxL = \int_{a}^{b} \sqrt{1 + \left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^2}\,dx

    Substitute (dydx)2\left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^2:

    L=∫011+(x−2/3−1) dxL = \int_{0}^{1} \sqrt{1 + (x^{-2/3} - 1)}\,dx L=∫01x−2/3 dxL = \int_{0}^{1} \sqrt{x^{-2/3}}\,dx L=∫01x−1/3 dxL = \int_{0}^{1} x^{-1/3}\,dx
  5. Evaluate the integral.

    L=[x−1/3+1−1/3+1]01L = \left[\frac{x^{-1/3 + 1}}{-1/3 + 1}\right]_{0}^{1} L=[x2/32/3]01L = \left[\frac{x^{2/3}}{2/3}\right]_{0}^{1} L=[32x2/3]01L = \left[\frac{3}{2} x^{2/3}\right]_{0}^{1} L=32(12/3−02/3)L = \frac{3}{2} (1^{2/3} - 0^{2/3}) L=32(1−0)L = \frac{3}{2} (1 - 0) L=32L = \frac{3}{2}

    The length of the curve C is indeed 3/23/2.

Part ii

The point (3,(1−t3)3)(\sqrt{3}, \sqrt{(1-t^3)^3}) lies on the curve C.

This part of the question seems to be incomplete or incorrectly transcribed. The given curve is y=(1−x2/3)3y = \sqrt{(1 - x^{2/3})^3}. If a point (3,(1−t3)3)(\sqrt{3}, \sqrt{(1-t^3)^3}) lies on the curve, then x=3x = \sqrt{3} and y=(1−t3)3y = \sqrt{(1-t^3)^3}.
Substituting x=3x = \sqrt{3} into the curve equation:

y=(1−(3)2/3)3y = \sqrt{(1 - (\sqrt{3})^{2/3})^3}

This does not directly relate to tt. Without further context or a complete question, it is not possible to provide a solution for this part. Assuming it asks to find tt if the point lies on the curve, we would need to equate the yy-coordinates. However, the xx-value 3\sqrt{3} is outside the domain 0≤x≤10 \le x \le 1. Therefore, this point cannot lie on the curve C as defined.

Part iii

6π5\frac{6\pi}{5}

The curve C is rotated completely about the x-axis. Find the area of the surface of revolution obtained.

  1. Recall the formula for the surface area of revolution about the x-axis.

    S=∫ab2πy1+(dydx)2 dxS = \int_{a}^{b} 2\pi y \sqrt{1 + \left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^2}\,dx
  2. Substitute the known values.

    We have y=(1−x2/3)3/2y = (1 - x^{2/3})^{3/2} and 1+(dydx)2=x−1/3\sqrt{1 + \left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^2} = x^{-1/3}.

    S=∫012π(1−x2/3)3/2x−1/3 dxS = \int_{0}^{1} 2\pi (1 - x^{2/3})^{3/2} x^{-1/3}\,dx
  3. Use a substitution to evaluate the integral.

    Let u=1−x2/3u = 1 - x^{2/3}.
    Then du=−23x−1/3 dxdu = -\frac{2}{3} x^{-1/3}\,dx.
    So, x−1/3 dx=−32 dux^{-1/3}\,dx = -\frac{3}{2}\,du.

    Change the limits of integration:
    When x=0x = 0, u=1−02/3=1u = 1 - 0^{2/3} = 1.
    When x=1x = 1, u=1−12/3=0u = 1 - 1^{2/3} = 0.

    Substitute into the integral:

    S=∫102πu3/2(−32) duS = \int_{1}^{0} 2\pi u^{3/2} \left(-\frac{3}{2}\right)\,du S=−3π∫10u3/2 duS = -3\pi \int_{1}^{0} u^{3/2}\,du

    To reverse the limits, change the sign:

    S=3π∫01u3/2 duS = 3\pi \int_{0}^{1} u^{3/2}\,du
  4. Evaluate the integral.

    S=3π[u3/2+13/2+1]01S = 3\pi \left[\frac{u^{3/2 + 1}}{3/2 + 1}\right]_{0}^{1} S=3π[u5/25/2]01S = 3\pi \left[\frac{u^{5/2}}{5/2}\right]_{0}^{1} S=3π[25u5/2]01S = 3\pi \left[\frac{2}{5} u^{5/2}\right]_{0}^{1} S=3π(25(1)5/2−25(0)5/2)S = 3\pi \left(\frac{2}{5} (1)^{5/2} - \frac{2}{5} (0)^{5/2}\right) S=3π(25−0)S = 3\pi \left(\frac{2}{5} - 0\right) S=6π5S = \frac{6\pi}{5}

    The area of the surface of revolution obtained is 6π5\boxed{\frac{6\pi}{5}}.

Part iv

25\frac{2}{5}

Using a theorem of Pappus, find the y-coordinates of a centroid of the arc C.

  1. Recall Pappus's Second Theorem.

    Pappus's Second Theorem states that the surface area SS of a surface of revolution generated by rotating a plane curve C about an external axis is equal to the product of the arc length LL of C and the distance traveled by the centroid of C.

    S=2πyˉLS = 2\pi \bar{y} L

    where yˉ\bar{y} is the y-coordinate of the centroid of the arc C, and 2πyˉ2\pi \bar{y} is the distance traveled by the centroid.

  2. Use the values calculated in previous parts.

    From part (i), the arc length L=32L = \frac{3}{2}.
    From part (iii), the surface area S=6π5S = \frac{6\pi}{5}.

  3. Solve for yˉ\bar{y}.

    6π5=2πyˉ(32)\frac{6\pi}{5} = 2\pi \bar{y} \left(\frac{3}{2}\right) 6π5=3πyˉ\frac{6\pi}{5} = 3\pi \bar{y}

    Divide both sides by 3π3\pi:

    yˉ=6π5⋅3π\bar{y} = \frac{6\pi}{5 \cdot 3\pi} yˉ=25\bar{y} = \frac{2}{5}

    The y-coordinate of the centroid of the arc C is 25\boxed{\frac{2}{5}}.

Part 2

A square of side 2a2a is rotated through 2π2\pi about a line in its plane which is distant 3a3a from the centre O of the square. Use theorems of Pappus to find:

Part a

24πa324\pi a^3

The Volume of the Solid swept out by the Square.

  1. Identify the properties of the square.

    Side length of the square is s=2as = 2a.
    Area of the square A=s2=(2a)2=4a2A = s^2 = (2a)^2 = 4a^2.
    The centroid of the square is its geometric center.

  2. Determine the distance of the centroid from the axis of rotation.

    The distance from the center O of the square to the axis of rotation is given as d=3ad = 3a.
    According to Pappus's First Theorem, the volume VV of a solid of revolution generated by rotating a plane area AA about an external axis is given by:

    V=2πdAV = 2\pi d A

    where dd is the distance of the centroid of the area from the axis of rotation.

  3. Calculate the volume.

    V=2π(3a)(4a2)V = 2\pi (3a) (4a^2) V=24πa3V = 24\pi a^3

    The volume of the solid swept out by the square is 24πa3\boxed{24\pi a^3}.

Part b

48πa248\pi a^2

The area of the Surface of the Solid.

  1. Identify the perimeter of the square.

    The perimeter of the square P=4s=4(2a)=8aP = 4s = 4(2a) = 8a.
    The centroid of the perimeter of the square is also its geometric center.

  2. Determine the distance of the centroid from the axis of rotation.

    The distance from the centroid of the perimeter to the axis of rotation is d=3ad = 3a.
    According to Pappus's Second Theorem, the surface area SS of a surface of revolution generated by rotating a plane curve (in this case, the perimeter of the square) about an external axis is equal to the product of the length of the curve PP and the distance traveled by the centroid of the curve.

    S=2πdPS = 2\pi d P
  3. Calculate the surface area.

    S=2π(3a)(8a)S = 2\pi (3a) (8a) S=48πa2S = 48\pi a^2

    The area of the surface of the solid is 48πa2\boxed{48\pi a^2}.
