A cylinder of radius
A researcher needs a quick estimate for the mass of the rod, and so he splits the rod into
By forming a Riemann sum, calculate the researcher's estimate.
By sketching
explain whether this is an overestimate or an underestimate. Describe how the estimate might be improved.
Write an expression using
notation for the actual mass of the cylinder.
Recall that
Suppose the density of the first section is
Do the same for the remaining sections.
Give your answer to (a), to the nearest gram.
