Abstract
Our applications of integration in Chapter 4 were limited to area, distance-velocity, and rate problems. In this chapter, we will see how to use integrals to set up problems involving volumes, averages, centers of mass, work, energy, and power. The techniques developed in Chapter 7 make it possible to solve many of these problems completely.
Many physical and geometric quantities can be expressed as integrals.
