As viewed from above, a swimming pool has the shape of the ellipse given by x21600+y2400=1 the cross sections perpendicular to the ground and parallel to the y-axis are squares. find the total volume of the pool. (assume the units of length and area are feet and square feet respectively. do not put units in your answer.)

the total volume of the pool = 85,333.3ft^3

Explanation:

Since the cross sections perpendicular to the ground and parallel to the y-axis are squares.This means that the dimensions of each square-shaped slice are:

width = 2y

depth = 2y

where y is a function of x.

The thickness of each slice is equal to dx

The area of each cross-sectional slice is

(2y)(2y) = 4y^2

The volume of each cross-section is

dV = 4y^2 dx. .....1

Whe need to write y as a function of x.

This comes from the equation of the ellipse:

x^2/a^2+y^2/b^2=1

with a^2 = 1600 and b^2 = 400

Then a = 40 and b = 20

Rearranging the equation gives:

y^2 = b^2(1 - x^2/a^2)

This can be substituted into the equation for dV above: (eqn 1 above.)

dV = 4b^2(1 - x^2/a^2)dx

The volume of the pool is the sum of all of the slices, which you calculate by integrating dV. However, due to symmetry, you can calculate the volume of half of the pool, and then multiply by 2 to get the total volume. This means that you integrate from the origin of the axes (x=0) to the edge of the pool (x=a).

We will denote the “half-volume” by Vh.

Vh= integral of dV from 0 to a

Vh = [4b^2( x - x^3/3a^2) ] from 0 to a

Substituting a we have.

Vh = 4b^2(a - a/3)

Vh = (8/3)ab^2

V = 2Vh = (16/3)ab^2

Substituting the values of a and b

V = (16/3)(40 × 20^2)

V = 85,333.3ft^3

this is an example of "committed" time.

committed time, as contracted time, takes need over essential and available time since it is seen as profitable work. it alludes to the time allotted to keep up a home and family. at the point when a man is commuting using committed time this individual may feel that the drive is an obligation to family, for example, strolling youngsters to class or driving a mate to work. contracted and committed time clients may feel that their commute could really compare to the commute of important or leisure time clients on the grounds that their commute is profitable work. in this manner, they might be more disposed to pick a mechanized method of movement.
