7. (8 points) Set up the integral that will give the area of the surface when the curve x = 2y 4 + y from the point
(3, 1) to the point (34, 2) is rotated about the y-axis. You do not need to compute this integral.
8. (9 points) A tank initially contains 100L of fresh water. A solution containing 0.4 g/L of a chemical enters at a
rate of 5 L/min. The solution is kept mixed and is drained from the tank at the same rate.
(A) Find an expression for y(t), the amount of the chemical (in grams) in the tank after t minutes.
(B) How much of the chemical is in the tank after 20 minutes?
9. (6 points) A cube with 0.5-meter-long sides is sitting on the bottom of a tank in which the water level is 2 meters
deep. Find the hydrostatic force on the top of the cube. Assume that the bottom of the tank is level.
10. (10 points) An Aquarium in a restaurant has an odd-shaped vertical window at its end that opens to the public
view. The water level in the aquarium is level with the top of the window, which ranges from the bottom of the
aquarium at its middle to 1 foot high at the top. The window is bounded by the curve y = x6 , −1 ≤ x ≤ 1, and
the line y = 1. Find the hydrostatic force pushing against this vertical window. The weight density δ = ρg = 62.5

bounded by the curves.
