y
2x 2 − 1/5
x
−2x 2 + 4/5
Exercise 2
Exercise 3
The velocity v at which blood is flowing in a blood vessel of radius R and length l at a position with
distance r from the middle axis is given by
P
R2 − r 2 .
v (r ) =
4η l
Here P is the difference in pressure between the start and the end of the blood vessel and η is the
viscosity of blood.
Determine the average velocity over 0 ≤ r ≤ R. Compare the average velocity to the maximal velocity.
Exercise 4
A glass is modeled by rotating the branch of the hyperbola y 2 − x 2 = 1 for which y > 0 (inner lateral
surface) and the curve x = y , x ≥ 0 (outer lateral surface) around the y-axis. To the top it is limited by
the plane y = 3. All coordinates are given in cm.

(a) Determine the volume of liquid that can be captured by the glass.
(b) Compute the weight of the empty glass if the material has density ρ = 2.2 cmg 3 .
Exercise 5
Exercise 6
For a continuously differentiable function f : [a,b] → R the arc length of the function graph between a
and b can be computed as
Zb p
L= 1 + f 0 (x)2 dx.
a
Compute the arc length of the graph of f (x) = 21 x 2 on the interval [0,1].

(Hint: Substitute x = sinh(t), use cosh2 (t) = 1 + 2
√sinh (t)√and arsinh(t)
= ln(x + x 2 + 1). Then, use
1
integration by parts. The final result should be 2 2 + ln( 2 + 1) .)
