(choose chapter or problem)

Airplane Wing I: An airplane wing has the shape of the region bounded by the graph of y = 60 cos x and the x-axis, where x and y are in feet. a. Find the area of the wing. b. Assume that the pressure pushing up on the wing when the plane is in flight is constant in the y-direction, but is directly proportional to the quantity (10 |x|) in the x-direction. Find the total force acting on the wing. c. For the plane to fly, each wing must lift 96 tons. What must the proportionality constant equal?
