2. Take limit of sum of the area of thin bands
(or frustums).
y
0 a b x

3. The formula for area of frustum:
= ( + )
is the slant hight
, are the upper and lower radii

4. The area of the surface obtained by rotating
the curve = ( ), , about the x-axis:
= ( ) + [ ( )]

5. The area of the surface obtained by rotating
the curve = ( ), , about the x-axis:
= ( ) + [ ( )]
Recall the arc length formula:
= + [ ( )]

Physics and Engineering
Ex: A dam has the shape of the trapezoid.
The height is 20m, the width is 50m at top
and 30m at bottom. Find the force on the
dam due to hydrostatic pressure if the water
is 4m from the top of the dam.
