Integrate ⌠( xcos^2(x))dx

We must first use trigonometric identities to simplify cos 2 (x). We can use the formula cos(A+B) = cos(A)cos(B) - sin(A)sin(B) , where A=x and B=x , so that we get cos(2x) = cos 2 (x) - sin 2 (x) = 2cos 2 (...

A uniform plank of wood of mass 32 kg and length 4.0 m is used to cross a ditch. In the ditch is a rock, which is used to support the plank horizontally 0.80 m from one end. The other end is supported by the bank. Calculate the rock's supporting force.

We need to calculate moments about a point through which one of the forces is acting. I choose the bank support point. At this point, moments are caused by the weight of the plank acting at its centre of mas...

A curve C has equation y = (2 - x)(1 + x) + 3 . A line passes through the point (2, 3) and the point on C with x-coordinate 2 + h . Find the gradient of the line, giving your answer in its simplest form.

First we find the y coordinate which is a function of x: x = 2+ h so y = (2 - 2 - h)(1 + 2 + h) + 3 = -h 2 - 3h + 3 Now for the gradient, the line passes through points (2,3) and (2 + h, -h 2 - 3h + 3) dx = ...
