Answer: Building Design The cross section of a precast concrete beam for a building is

Chapter 8, Problem 72

(choose chapter or problem)

The cross section of a precast concrete beam for a building is bounded by the graphs of the equations  \(x=\frac{2}{\sqrt{1+y^{2}}}, \quad x=\frac{-2}{\sqrt{1+y^{2}}}, \quad y=0,\)  and y = 3 where  \(x\)  and  \(y\)  are measured in feet. The length of the beam is 20 feet (see figure).

(a) Find the volume V and the weight W of the beam. Assume the concrete weighs 148 pounds per cubic foot.

(b) Find the centroid of a cross-section of the beam.
