The curved surface area A of a cone formed by rotating a line segment from (0,0) to (r,h) around the y-axis is A = πrl, where l is the slant height, l = √(r² + h²). Since the cross-section is a triangle with base r and height h, the rotation around the y-axis traces out the cone.

The centroid of a region can be found using the formulas x̄ = (1/Area)∫∫ x dA and ȳ = (1/Area)∫∫ y dA. For the disk segment, shape symmetry simplifies the calculations, and ȳ is influenced by the vertical shift in the semicircular part. Integrate over x from -2 to 2, adjusting y's range to account for the translation's impact.

Calculate total mass M = m1 + m2 = 7 + 14 = 21. For center of mass (x̄, ȳ) use x̄ = (m1*x1 + m2*x2) / M = (7*2 + 14*5) / 21 = 76/21 and ȳ = (m1*y1 + m2*y2) / M = (7*3 + 14*3) / 21 = 3. The moment about y = 3 is calculated using M_y = ∑mi(y_i - 3), resulting in M_y = 0 as y-coordinates of both masses are 3, so they lie on the line y = 3.

For a torus formed by rotating a circle of radius a centered at (b,0), the surface area S is given by S = 4π²ab. This arises from parametrizing the circle in terms of an angle θ, integrating the arc length to find the perimeter 2πa, and multiplying by 2πb—the radius from the y-axis: S = ∫[0,2π] ∫[0,2π] (a + bcos(θ)) a dθ dφ, leading to S = 4π²ab.

To find the surface area when rotating an ellipse around the x-axis, use S = 2π ∫ y √(1 + (dy/dx)²) dx. Parametrize the ellipse as x = 2cos(θ), y = sin(θ), so dx = -2sin(θ)dθ, substitute into S, and integrate from 0 to π/2. Analyzing using elliptical integrals results in the surface area.

To find the length of the curve y = 2x - 1 from x = 1 to x = 3, we use the formula for the arc length L = ∫[a,b] √(1 + (dy/dx)^2) dx. Since y = 2x - 1, its derivative dy/dx = 2. Therefore, (dy/dx)^2 = 4, and the arc length becomes L = ∫[1,3] √(1 + 4) dx = ∫[1,3] √5 dx = √5 [x] from 1 to 3 = √5 (3-1) = 2√5.

To find the area of the surface obtained by rotating y = sin(x) about the x-axis from x = 0 to x = π, use the formula for surface area: S = ∫[a,b] 2πy √(1 + (dy/dx)^2) dx. Here, y = sin(x), so dy/dx = cos(x) and (dy/dx)^2 = cos²(x). The integral becomes S = ∫[0,π] 2πsin(x) √(1 + cos²(x)) dx. This integral can be solved analytically or numerically for the surface area.

Calculate the surface area using S = 2π ∫[a,b] y √(1 + (dy/dx)²) dx. With y = x³, dy/dx = 3x², the equation becomes S = 2π ∫[0,1] x³ √(1 + (3x²)²) dx. Simplify and integrate to find the total surface area.

The moment M_aboutLine of a particle is defined as the product of mass and the perpendicular distance from the line. For line y = 3, calculate M = Σ mi * |yi - 3| for particles. This accounts for their distribution in relation to the specified axis, eliciting effects of symmetry and balance.

First, compute current center of mass (x̄, ȳ) for the existing masses. The total mass and moments need adjusting with an additional mass at (4,-7). Solve δ((m*x_i)/totalM) = 4 and δ((m*y_i + additional_mass*(-7))/totalM) = 0, using the given positions and current masses to isolate additional mass needed.
