  3. A container is in the shape of a hemisphere of radius `r` metres. The container is initially horizontal and full of water. The container is then tilted at an angle of `theta` to the horizontal so that some water spills out. 

  1. (1) Find `theta` so that the depth of water remaining is one half of the original depth.   (1 mark)

  2. (2) What fraction of the original volume is left in the container?   (2 marks)

i.    `text(Show that)\ V = (pir^3)/3 (2-3sin theta + sin^3 theta)`

♦♦♦ Mean mark (i) 16%.
MARKER’S COMMENT: A common error was to integrate `r^2` to `1/3 r^3` instead of `r^2 x` (note that `r` is a constant).  
`sin theta` `= (OA)/r`
`:.\ OA` `= r sin theta`
`=> A` `= (r sin theta, 0),\ \ \ \ B = (r,0)`

 

`:.V` `= pi int_(rsintheta)^r y^2\ dx`
  `= pi int_(rsintheta)^r (r^2-x^2)\ dx\ \ \ \ text{(using}\ x^2+y^2=r^2text{)}`
  `= pi [r^2 x-(x^3)/3]_(rsintheta)^r`
  `= pi [(r^3-r^3/3)-(r^3 sin theta-(r^3 sin^3 theta)/3)]`
  `= pi ((2r^3)/3-r^3 sin theta + (r^3 sin^3 theta)/3)`
  `= (pir^3)/3 (2-3 sin theta + sin^3 theta)\ \ \ text(… as required)`

 

ii. (1) `text(Depth of water remaining) = 1/2 xx text(original depth:)`

♦♦♦ Part (ii) mean marks 3% and 2% for (ii)(1) and (ii)(2) respectively.
`r-r sin theta` `=1/2 r`
`r (1-sin theta)` `= 1/2 r`
`1-sin theta` `= 1/2`
`sin theta` `= 1/2`
`:.\ theta` `= pi/6\ text(radians)`

 

 MARKER’S COMMENT: Previous parts of a question should always be at the front and centre of a student’s mind and direct their strategy.
ii. (2)    `text(Original Volume)` `= 1/2 xx 4/3 pi r^3`
    `= 2/3 pi r^3`

 

`text(New Volume)` `= (pi r^3)/3 [2-3 sin(pi/6) + sin^3(pi/6)]`
  `= (pir^3)/3 [2-(3 xx 1/2) + (1/2)^3]`
  `= (pi r^3)/3 [2-3/2 + 1/8]`
  `= (pir^3)/3 (5/8)`
  `= (5 pi r^3)/24`

 

`:.\ text(Fraction of original volume left)`

`= ((5pir^3)/24)/(2/3 pi r^3)`

`= 5/24 xx 3/2`

`= 5/16`

The diagram shows the region bounded by  `y = 3/((x+2)^2)`, the `x`-axis, the  `y`-axis,  and the line  `x = 1`.

The region is rotated about the  `x`-axis to form a solid.

Find the volume of the solid.  (3 marks)

MARKER’S COMMENT: Most students omitted the `dx` when stating the definite integral in this question!
`V` `= pi int_0^1 y^2\ dx`
  `= pi int_0^1 (3/((x+2)^2))^2\ dx`
  `= pi int_0^1 9/((x+2)^4)\ dx`
  `= 9pi int_0^1 (x + 2)^-4\ dx`
  `= 9pi  [-1/3 (x + 2)^-3]_0^1`
  `= 9pi  [(-1/3 xx 1/(3^3))\ – (-1/3 xx 1/(2^3))]`
  `= 9 pi [-1/81 + 1/24]`
  `= 9 pi (19/648)`
  `= (19pi)/72\ text(u³)`

 

`:.\ text(Volume of the solid is)\ (19pi)/72\ text(u³)`.
