00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,140


2
00:00:07,140 --> 00:00:08,760
Welcome back to recitation.

3
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:12,310
In this video, what I'd like
you to do is use Green's theorem

4
00:00:12,310 --> 00:00:15,440
to find the area between
one arch of the cycloid that

5
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:19,080
is described by x equals
a times the quantity

6
00:00:19,080 --> 00:00:22,780
theta minus sine theta, y equals
a times the quantity 1 minus

7
00:00:22,780 --> 00:00:25,450
cosine theta, and the x-axis.

8
00:00:25,450 --> 00:00:27,240
So probably it's
helpful for you to draw

9
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:28,690
a picture of this first.

10
00:00:28,690 --> 00:00:31,880
So you have one arch
of the cycloid defined

11
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,790
in terms of theta, the x of
theta and y of theta are here,

12
00:00:35,790 --> 00:00:38,060
and then the x-axis
will be the other bound.

13
00:00:38,060 --> 00:00:40,510
And the big thing I
want you to notice

14
00:00:40,510 --> 00:00:43,100
is you're going to use Green's
theorem to find the area.

15
00:00:43,100 --> 00:00:45,884
So why don't you pause the
video, work on the problem,

16
00:00:45,884 --> 00:00:47,550
when you're ready to
see my solution you

17
00:00:47,550 --> 00:00:48,716
can bring the video back up.

18
00:00:48,716 --> 00:00:58,880


19
00:00:58,880 --> 00:00:59,990
OK, welcome back.

20
00:00:59,990 --> 00:01:03,080
So again, what we want to do is
we want to use Green's theorem

21
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:04,854
to find an area.

22
00:01:04,854 --> 00:01:06,270
OK, and what I'm
going to do first

23
00:01:06,270 --> 00:01:09,290
is I'm going to try and figure
out what the picture looks like

24
00:01:09,290 --> 00:01:11,081
and then I'm going to
figure out how to use

25
00:01:11,081 --> 00:01:13,450
Green's theorem in this region.

26
00:01:13,450 --> 00:01:18,020
So lets first draw a sketch of
the picture of what's going on.

27
00:01:18,020 --> 00:01:20,560
And because I want the area
between one arch of the cycloid

28
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,860
and the x-axis, what I
really want to do first

29
00:01:22,860 --> 00:01:26,660
is figure out what
theta values will

30
00:01:26,660 --> 00:01:29,520
make y positive, or
greater than or equal to 0,

31
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:30,580
and go from there.

32
00:01:30,580 --> 00:01:35,050
So if I want y to be
greater than or equal to 0,

33
00:01:35,050 --> 00:01:38,070
then what I need is
1 minus cosine theta

34
00:01:38,070 --> 00:01:40,390
to be greater than
or equal to 0.

35
00:01:40,390 --> 00:01:44,790
And that's going to happen for
every theta from 0 to 2*pi,

36
00:01:44,790 --> 00:01:47,200
and at 0 and 2*pi I get 0.

37
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,090
So we know we want theta
to go between 0 and 2*pi.

38
00:01:50,090 --> 00:01:52,890


39
00:01:52,890 --> 00:01:55,250
Those are good parameters
to have for theta,

40
00:01:55,250 --> 00:01:56,870
because this statement
is always true,

41
00:01:56,870 --> 00:02:00,500
but I get 0 when theta is
0 and when theta is 2*pi.

42
00:02:00,500 --> 00:02:02,690
So I'm going to let theta
run between 0 and 2*pi,

43
00:02:02,690 --> 00:02:03,995
as I mentioned.

44
00:02:03,995 --> 00:02:05,870
So now let's think about
what the picture is.

45
00:02:05,870 --> 00:02:12,070
When theta is 0, if I come over
to what x is, x is a times 0

46
00:02:12,070 --> 00:02:14,120
minus 0, So x is 0.

47
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:15,600
And y we said was 0.

48
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,380


49
00:02:18,380 --> 00:02:21,540
I know that I'll
achieve a maximum height

50
00:02:21,540 --> 00:02:27,110
at theta equal pi because that's
where cosine theta is minus 1.

51
00:02:27,110 --> 00:02:30,440
So the 1 minus
cosine theta is 2.

52
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,500
And so if you look at
what the y-value will be,

53
00:02:33,500 --> 00:02:37,000
the y-value when
theta is pi is 2a.

54
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:42,850
And the value is going to
be a times pi minus sine pi.

55
00:02:42,850 --> 00:02:45,000
Well, sine of pi is 0.

56
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,270
So I just get a*pi.

57
00:02:47,270 --> 00:02:49,790
So I should go over a*pi.

58
00:02:49,790 --> 00:02:53,680
And I know there's a point at
a*pi comma-- I think I said 2a.

59
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,550


60
00:02:56,550 --> 00:02:59,810
And then it's actually going
to come back down the same way,

61
00:02:59,810 --> 00:03:01,330
so let me draw the first part.

62
00:03:01,330 --> 00:03:03,834
This is not a perfect
drawing of this.

63
00:03:03,834 --> 00:03:05,000
I don't have lots of points.

64
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,666
I'm having the smallest
amount of points

65
00:03:06,666 --> 00:03:09,190
possible to figure
out what's happening.

66
00:03:09,190 --> 00:03:15,360
So then when theta is 2*pi,
1 minus cosine theta is 0.

67
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,770
So I get y equals 0.

68
00:03:17,770 --> 00:03:21,020
And then here I get 2
pi minus sine of 2*pi.

69
00:03:21,020 --> 00:03:23,640
Sine of 2 pi is 0,
so I get 2*pi*a.

70
00:03:23,640 --> 00:03:26,290
So I come all the way over
here and I get 2*pi*a.

71
00:03:26,290 --> 00:03:28,837


72
00:03:28,837 --> 00:03:30,920
Yeah, that's not maybe the
most beautiful picture,

73
00:03:30,920 --> 00:03:33,480
but it's a good start.

74
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:37,490
So I'm interested in finding
the area of this region.

75
00:03:37,490 --> 00:03:40,790
What I want to do then is, to
find the area of that region

76
00:03:40,790 --> 00:03:42,650
I'm going to use
Green's theorem.

77
00:03:42,650 --> 00:03:44,260
That's what we asked you to do.

78
00:03:44,260 --> 00:03:46,985
So what I want to do is I
want to pick a curve that's

79
00:03:46,985 --> 00:03:48,110
going to have 2 components.

80
00:03:48,110 --> 00:03:50,151
It's going to have C_1,
will be this bottom part,

81
00:03:50,151 --> 00:03:51,670
and C2 will be this top part.

82
00:03:51,670 --> 00:03:53,640
And we need to
keep it oriented so

83
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,800
when I'm walking along the
curve the region is on the left.

84
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,200
And then I have to figure out
how to use Green's theorem.

85
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,080
So to find the area of this
region, all I actually need

86
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,610
is the integral over
the region of dA.

87
00:04:07,610 --> 00:04:09,270
That would give me the area.

88
00:04:09,270 --> 00:04:15,300
And so what quantities--
what functions would be good?

89
00:04:15,300 --> 00:04:15,940
Sorry.

90
00:04:15,940 --> 00:04:17,330
In order to find this.

91
00:04:17,330 --> 00:04:19,540
Well, I believe you
actually saw in class

92
00:04:19,540 --> 00:04:21,670
that you have two options.

93
00:04:21,670 --> 00:04:26,810
You have minus y*dx
over the closed curve,

94
00:04:26,810 --> 00:04:30,680
or you have x*dy over
the closed curve.

95
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,320
You have one of
those two options.

96
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,050
Now which one of those
is better in this case?

97
00:04:36,050 --> 00:04:38,950
We have a choice, so let's
make the best choice.

98
00:04:38,950 --> 00:04:40,470
Which one of those is better?

99
00:04:40,470 --> 00:04:44,090
Well, if you notice that
on these two curves,

100
00:04:44,090 --> 00:04:48,180
x is changing on both of them
but y is fixed on this one.

101
00:04:48,180 --> 00:04:52,390
So it'd be nicer for
us if we could just

102
00:04:52,390 --> 00:04:54,930
integrate on the curve
on this part, which

103
00:04:54,930 --> 00:04:59,510
we would be able to do if
we were choosing this one.

104
00:04:59,510 --> 00:05:04,790
Because y is constant and
it is equal to 0 along here.

105
00:05:04,790 --> 00:05:07,810
So what you need to do to
solve this problem is really,

106
00:05:07,810 --> 00:05:14,410
you only need to integrate
on C_2, minus y*dx.

107
00:05:14,410 --> 00:05:18,010
That's going to give
you the entire area.

108
00:05:18,010 --> 00:05:21,390
And so now we have to figure
out how to put everything in.

109
00:05:21,390 --> 00:05:25,940
Well, C_2-- I'm
parameterized in theta--

110
00:05:25,940 --> 00:05:31,310
and C_2 parameterized in theta,
if I start here I'm at 2*pi

111
00:05:31,310 --> 00:05:32,340
for theta.

112
00:05:32,340 --> 00:05:35,161
And if I go this direction
I'm at 0 for theta.

113
00:05:35,161 --> 00:05:36,660
So what I'm going
to do is I'm going

114
00:05:36,660 --> 00:05:39,870
to do something that might seem
tricky, but it's quite natural.

115
00:05:39,870 --> 00:05:42,370
I'm going to replace this minus
by a plus and then integrate

116
00:05:42,370 --> 00:05:44,590
from 0 to 2*pi.

117
00:05:44,590 --> 00:05:47,430
Because I was going to be
integrating from 2*pi to 0

118
00:05:47,430 --> 00:05:50,430
and so I just flipped the order
and made that sign a plus.

119
00:05:50,430 --> 00:05:51,690
So that should be fine.

120
00:05:51,690 --> 00:05:53,450
And then y, I already
know what it is.

121
00:05:53,450 --> 00:05:56,990
It's a times 1
minus cosine theta.

122
00:05:56,990 --> 00:06:00,250
And now I just have to
figure out what is dx.

123
00:06:00,250 --> 00:06:02,180
So we have to come back
over, for one second

124
00:06:02,180 --> 00:06:05,980
we're going to come over here
and we're going to look at dx.

125
00:06:05,980 --> 00:06:09,310
If x is equal to a times
theta minus sine theta,

126
00:06:09,310 --> 00:06:13,590
then dx is just a times
1 minus cosine theta.

127
00:06:13,590 --> 00:06:16,240
So that's nice because that's
actually what we already have.

128
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,680
So we come back
over here-- oh, I

129
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,100
should say also with a d
theta-- come back over here,

130
00:06:22,100 --> 00:06:24,930
dx gives you a squared a,
it gives you a squared this,

131
00:06:24,930 --> 00:06:27,560
and it gives you a d theta.

132
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,640
So that actually gives
you everything you need.

133
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,470
Now I am not going to actually
write out all the steps

134
00:06:33,470 --> 00:06:34,810
in order to do this.

135
00:06:34,810 --> 00:06:36,370
But the way you
could easily do this,

136
00:06:36,370 --> 00:06:38,380
you can pull out the
a squared and you're

137
00:06:38,380 --> 00:06:40,980
left with a 1 minus
cosine theta squared.

138
00:06:40,980 --> 00:06:43,200
You might think about
squaring all the terms

139
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,990
and then you have 1 cosine
squared theta to deal with.

140
00:06:45,990 --> 00:06:48,340
But ultimately, when
you get your answer--

141
00:06:48,340 --> 00:06:50,290
I'm just going to
write down what it is--

142
00:06:50,290 --> 00:06:53,180
you get 3*pi a squared.

143
00:06:53,180 --> 00:06:56,420
And you'll see you get a
little bit of cancellation

144
00:06:56,420 --> 00:06:58,311
and it's not too hard
to solve at this point.

145
00:06:58,311 --> 00:06:59,810
Since it's single
variable I'm going

146
00:06:59,810 --> 00:07:01,480
to assume I don't need to do it.

147
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:02,980
But you can check
your final answer.

148
00:07:02,980 --> 00:07:04,720
You should get-- I think, yes.

149
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,740
I got 3*pi a squared.

150
00:07:06,740 --> 00:07:10,390
So what we did was we
took a problem, again,

151
00:07:10,390 --> 00:07:16,040
where we had a curve
defined in terms of theta.

152
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,270
We had a curve, in x and y,
it was parameterized in theta.

153
00:07:19,270 --> 00:07:22,270
And we wanted to find an
area between that curve

154
00:07:22,270 --> 00:07:24,000
and the x-axis.

155
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,360
And the reason we could use
Green's theorem so easily is

156
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:32,810
because area of a region-- of
this connected region here--

157
00:07:32,810 --> 00:07:36,700
is equal to the integral over
the closed loop surrounding it

158
00:07:36,700 --> 00:07:41,060
of minus y*dx, or alternatively
you could have done x*dy.

159
00:07:41,060 --> 00:07:43,974
And because I got to choose,
I picked the easier one.

160
00:07:43,974 --> 00:07:45,640
And I picked the
easier one in this case

161
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,270
because y is equal to 0
on one part of the curve.

162
00:07:48,270 --> 00:07:52,140
So I just ignored the C_1
because that's where y is 0,

163
00:07:52,140 --> 00:07:54,150
and I looked along C_2.

164
00:07:54,150 --> 00:07:57,520
I noticed C_2 is parameterized
in this direction from theta

165
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,080
equals 2*pi to theta equals 0.

166
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,750
So that's why I dropped the
minus sign and changed it from

167
00:08:03,750 --> 00:08:04,700
0 to 2*pi.

168
00:08:04,700 --> 00:08:06,150
That's where that came from.

169
00:08:06,150 --> 00:08:09,180
And then you end up having
to just determine what y is

170
00:08:09,180 --> 00:08:11,140
and what dx are,
in terms of theta.

171
00:08:11,140 --> 00:08:13,360
Which we had them already
in terms of theta,

172
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,320
so we could just explicitly
determine everything,

173
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,270
do all the substitution and
then evaluate the integral.

174
00:08:19,270 --> 00:08:21,390
So then, that's all
there is to this problem.

175
00:08:21,390 --> 00:08:23,140
So hopefully that
taught you a little more

176
00:08:23,140 --> 00:08:24,056
about Green's theorem.

177
00:08:24,056 --> 00:08:26,084
And actually, now
you've done problems

178
00:08:26,084 --> 00:08:28,750
going from the left to the right
and from the right to the left.

179
00:08:28,750 --> 00:08:30,250
So you've done a
little bit of both.

180
00:08:30,250 --> 00:08:32,790
So hopefully this
revealed a little bit more

181
00:08:32,790 --> 00:08:33,980
to you than you knew before.

182
00:08:33,980 --> 00:08:35,482
That's where I'll stop.

183
00:08:35,482 --> 00:08:35,982
