Reading 8

Preclass reading due with problem set #8
Read part of Stewart 6.5: Read the part on work: pp. 476-479.
Key areas of focus : work as an application of integration. Read about hydrostatic pressure, moments, and centers of mass only if you have an interest in these physics topics. In this course we'll concentrate on work to avoid spreading ourselves too thin.
Reading Question:
6.5 #3 (Note that the first line allows you to figure out the spring constant for the spring.) Why is it necessary to write an integral to do this problem?
There is a reading response question to be answered on your section website by 11:00 pm before class.
