Sand is being poured into a truck for delivery to a building site.

At time t, the sand is being poured in at a rate of

20+20sin(t4π2)m3 per second,0t12
  1. Let V be the volume of sand in the truck at time t. Complete the table below:

    tdVdt0022.44844681012
  2. Hence, use a Riemann sum to estimate the amount of sand that was poured into the container during the first 12 seconds.

  3. Given that the truck initially contained 120m3 of sand, find the amount of sand in the truck after 12 seconds.

  4. Write an expression, using notation, which represents the exact amount of sand in the truck after 12 seconds.


Give your answer to (c), in m3, correct to 3 significant figures.
