Document Summary

You may not use your phone or your laptop as a calculator. You are expected to know all 2d and 3d geometric formulas from the pre-calculus review. You are also expected to be able to factor a quadratic or use a quadratic formula and compute compositions of functions. You also need to know the properties of logarithms. You are expected to be able to compute derivatives using all the rules learned in this section. You are also expected to be able to nd tangent lines of a function at a given point. Know how to nd where a function has a horizontal tangent. (this occurs when f (x) = 0. ) See the back of this worksheet for the chain rule derivatives. You should be able to compute tangent lines using a chart (see the top of worksheet 3. 7 or test. Be able to implicitly compute the derivative of an equation and algebraically solve for the derivative.

This magnetic resonance image of a patient's brain shows a tumor, which is highlighted in red.

Imagine you are a doctor who has just received a magnetic resonance image of your patent’s brain. The brain has a tumor How large is the tumor?

To be precise, what is the area of the red region? The red cross-section of the tumor has an irregular shape, and therefore it is unlikely that you would be able o find a set of equations or inequalities for the region and then be able to calculate its area by conventional means. You could approximate the area by chopping the region into tiny squares (a Riemann sum approach), but this method always gives an answer with some error.

Instead of trying to measure the area of the region directly, we can use a device called a rolling planimeter to calculate the area of the region exactly, simply by measuring its boundary. In this project you investigate how a planimeter works, and you use Green’s theorem to show the device calculates area correctly.

A rolling planimeter is a device that measures the area of a planar region by tracing out the boundary of that region. To measure the area of a region, we simply run the tracer of the planimeter around the boundary of the region. The planimeter measures the number of turns through which the wheel rotates as we (race the boundary; the area of the shape is proportional to this number of wheel ruins. We can derive the precise proportionality equation using Green’s theorem. As the (racer moves around the boundary of the region, the tracer arm rotates and the roller moves back and forth (but does no; rotate).

(a) A rolling planimeter. The pivot allows the tracer arm to rotate. The roller itself does not rotate; it only moves back and forth. (b) An interior view of a rolling planimeter. Notice that the wheel cannot rum if the planimeter is moving back and forth th the tracer arm perpendicular to the roller.

Let C denote the boundary of region D. the area to be calculated. As the tracer traverses curve C, assume the roller moves along the y-axis (since the roller does not rotate, one can assume it moves along a straight line). Use the coordinates (x, y) to represent points on boundary C, and coordinates (0, y) to represent the position of the pivot. As the planimeter traces C the pivot moves along the y-axis while the tracer arm rotates on the pivot. Watch a short animation of a planimeter in action.

Begin the analysis by considering the motion of the tracer as it moves from point (x, y) counterclockwise to point that is close to (x, y). The pivot also moves, from point (0, y) to nearby point (0, y + dy). How much does the wheel turn as a result of this motion? To answer this question, break the motion into two parts. First, roll the pivot along they-axis from without rotating the tracer arm. The tracer arm then ends up a point while maintaining a constant angle with the x-axis. Second, rotate the tracer arm by an angle d θθ without moving the roller. Now the tracer is at point Let 1 be the distance from the pivot to the wheel and let L be the distance from the pivot to the tracer (the length of the tracer arm).

6.49 Mathematical analysis of the motion of the planimeter.

Conclude that the sea of D equals the length of the air am multiplied by the total rolling distance of the wheel. You now know how a planimeter works and you have used Green’s theorem to justify that it works. To calculate the area of planar region D, use a planimeter to trace the boundary of the region .

The area of region is the length of the tracer arm multiplied by the distance wheel rolled
