The Area between Two Curves 2 Worked problem in calculus. The area between the curves y=x and y=x^3 - 8x is computed. The key step is to note that two integrals are needed as the top function changes at x=0. |

Moments and Center of Mass 1 - Point Masses on a Line Calculus: We define the moment of a point mass about a point P and extend the definition for a system of point masses about the origin. The center of mass is then defined and we explain the physical significance in terms of doors and see-saws. |
