Q1MEDIUMCOREHooke's law and spring work胡克定律与弹簧做功[8 marks]

A force of $30\,\text{N}$ holds a spring stretched $0.15\,\text{m}$ beyond its natural length. (a) Find $k$. (b) Work to stretch from $0.1\,\text{m}$ to $0.4\,\text{m}$. (c) Find how far a second spring ($k_2 = 500\,\text{N/m}$) must be stretched from rest to do the same work.一个 $30\,\text{N}$ 的力将弹簧从自然长度拉伸了 $0.15\,\text{m}$。(a) 求 $k$。(b) 从 $0.1\,\text{m}$ 拉伸到 $0.4\,\text{m}$ 所做的功。(c) 求第二根弹簧($k_2 = 500\,\text{N/m}$)从自然长度拉伸,做相同功时需拉伸多远。

Answers:  (a) $k = 200\,\text{N/m}$  ·  (b) $W = 15\,\text{J}$  ·  (c) $d = \sqrt{0.06} = \tfrac{\sqrt{6}}{10}\,\text{m} \approx 0.245\,\text{m}$

(a) Apply Hooke's law(a) 应用胡克定律 M1·A1

Hooke's law gives $F = kx$, so $30 = k(0.15)$. (M1) Solving, $k = 30/0.15 = 200\,\text{N/m}$. (A1)胡克定律给出 $F = kx$,故 $30 = k(0.15)$。(M1) 解得 $k = 30/0.15 = 200\,\text{N/m}$。(A1)

(b) Integrate the variable force(b) 对变力积分 M1·M1·A1·A1

The work element is $dW = F\,dx = 200x\,dx$. (M1) Integrate from $x = 0.1$ to $x = 0.4$: (M1)功的元素为 $dW = F\,dx = 200x\,dx$。(M1) 从 $x = 0.1$ 积分到 $x = 0.4$:(M1)

$$ W = \int_{0.1}^{0.4} 200x\,dx = \Big[100x^2\Big]_{0.1}^{0.4} = 100(0.16) - 100(0.01) = 16 - 1 = 15\,\text{J}. $$

(A1 for antiderivative, A1 for answer)(A1 得原函数,A1 得最终答案)

(c) Match work with the second spring(c) 与第二根弹簧的功匹配 M1·A1

For the second spring, $W_2 = \int_0^d 500x\,dx = \tfrac{1}{2}(500)d^2 = 250d^2$. (M1) Setting $250d^2 = 15$ gives $d^2 = \tfrac{15}{250} = 0.06$, so $d = \sqrt{0.06} = \tfrac{\sqrt{6}}{10} \approx 0.245\,\text{m}$. (A1)对第二根弹簧,$W_2 = \int_0^d 500x\,dx = \tfrac{1}{2}(500)d^2 = 250d^2$。(M1) 令 $250d^2 = 15$ 得 $d^2 = \tfrac{15}{250} = 0.06$,故 $d = \sqrt{0.06} = \tfrac{\sqrt{6}}{10} \approx 0.245\,\text{m}$。(A1)

Insight. The key element is $dW = F(x)\,dx$: slice the displacement, approximate force as constant on each slice, multiply, and integrate. A stiffer spring ($k_2 = 500 > 200$) requires less extension to store the same energy because the force builds faster. Part (c) inverts the energy formula, a common problem type. Always track units: N/m times m$^2$ gives N$\cdot$m = J.核心元素为 $dW = F(x)\,dx$:将位移切片,近似每片上的力为常数,相乘后积分。更硬的弹簧($k_2 = 500 > 200$)储存相同弹性势能所需的伸长量更小,因为力增长更快。(c) 是对能量公式的反解,是常见题型。始终注意单位:N/m 乘以 m$^2$ 等于 N$\cdot$m = J。
Q2MEDIUMCOREpumping water from a cylindrical tank从圆柱形水箱抽水[8 marks]

Vertical cylinder: radius $3\,\text{m}$, height $8\,\text{m}$, water filled to $6\,\text{m}$, $w = 9800\,\text{N/m}^3$. Pump all water to the top rim. (a) Write $dW$. (b) Evaluate $W$. (c) Explain why pumping to the current water level saves zero work and what the correct comparison is.竖直圆柱形水箱:半径 $3\,\text{m}$,高 $8\,\text{m}$,水深 $6\,\text{m}$,$w = 9800\,\text{N/m}^3$。将全部水抽至顶部边缘。(a) 写出 $dW$。(b) 计算 $W$。(c) 解释为何将水抽至当前水面节省零功,并说明正确的比较方式。

Answers:  (a) $dW = 9800\cdot 9\pi\,(8-y)\,dy$  ·  (b) $W = 2\,646\,000\pi \approx 8.31\times 10^6\,\text{J}$  ·  (c) zero; compare to a lower exit零;与较低出口比较

(a) Write the work element(a) 写出功的元素 M1·A1·A1

A slab at height $y$ (with $0 \le y \le 6$) has cross-sectional area $A = \pi(3)^2 = 9\pi\,\text{m}^2$ (M1) and must rise a distance $8 - y\,\text{m}$ to clear the rim. (A1) The weight of the slab is $w\cdot A\,dy = 9800\cdot 9\pi\,dy$, so高度 $y$($0 \le y \le 6$)处的薄层横截面面积为 $A = \pi(3)^2 = 9\pi\,\text{m}^2$ (M1),需提升 $8 - y\,\text{m}$ 才能越过顶部边缘。(A1) 该薄层的重力为 $w\cdot A\,dy = 9800\cdot 9\pi\,dy$,故

$$ dW = 9800\cdot 9\pi\,(8 - y)\,dy = 88\,200\pi\,(8-y)\,dy. $$

(A1)

(b) Integrate and evaluate(b) 积分并求值 M1·A1·A1

Water occupies $0 \le y \le 6$, so (M1)水占 $0 \le y \le 6$,故 (M1)

$$ W = 88\,200\pi\int_0^6 (8 - y)\,dy = 88\,200\pi\Big[8y - \tfrac{y^2}{2}\Big]_0^6. $$ $$ = 88\,200\pi\Big[(48 - 18) - 0\Big] = 88\,200\pi\cdot 30 = 2\,646\,000\pi\,\text{J}. $$

(A1 for antiderivative, A1 for final answer) Numerically, $W \approx 8.31\times 10^6\,\text{J}$.(A1 得原函数,A1 得最终答案)数值上,$W \approx 8.31\times 10^6\,\text{J}$。

(c) The zero-savings argument(c) 节省量为零的论证 R1·A1

The water surface is already at $y = 6$. Pumping to $y = 6$ is not pumping at all: every slab is already at its destination, so the integral has zero length and the work is zero. (R1) The meaningful comparison is: how much work is saved by pumping to a lower exit, say through a pipe outlet at $y = 4$ rather than the rim at $y = 8$? In that case the lift distance changes from $8 - y$ to $4 - y$ (for $0 \le y \le 4$), giving a different integral. (A1)水面已在 $y = 6$ 处。将水抽至 $y = 6$ 等于没有抽:每片水层已在目标位置,积分区间长度为零,做功为零。(R1) 有意义的比较是:若不从顶部边缘($y = 8$)抽出,而从较低出口(如 $y = 4$ 的管道)抽出,能节省多少功?此时提升距离从 $8 - y$ 变为 $4 - y$($0 \le y \le 4$),得到不同的积分。(A1)

Insight. The "slice, express $dW$, integrate" template: (1) name the variable $y$, (2) find the cross-section $A(y)$ and the lift distance, (3) write $dW = w\cdot A(y)\cdot(\text{lift})\,dy$, (4) integrate over the fluid. The lift distance is always measured to where the water exits, not to the current fluid level. For a cylinder $A$ is constant, making the integrand linear in $y$ and hence easy to antidifferentiate."切片,写出 $dW$,积分"的模板:(1) 命名变量 $y$,(2) 求横截面 $A(y)$ 和提升距离,(3) 写出 $dW = w\cdot A(y)\cdot(\text{提升距离})\,dy$,(4) 对流体区域积分。提升距离始终量到水的出口,而非当前水面。对圆柱形容器,$A$ 为常数,使被积函数关于 $y$ 为线性,易于求原函数。
Q3HARDCOREcable work and center of mass of a rod缆绳做功与杆的质心[6 marks]

Cable: $15\,\text{m}$, $\rho = 4\,\text{kg/m}$, $g = 9.8\,\text{m/s}^2$; $60\,\text{kg}$ load at free end. (a) Work to wind the cable to the top. (b) Work for the load, total, and interpretation via $mg\bar{x}$.缆绳:$15\,\text{m}$,$\rho = 4\,\text{kg/m}$,$g = 9.8\,\text{m/s}^2$;自由端挂 $60\,\text{kg}$ 重物。(a) 将缆绳收至顶部所做的功。(b) 提升重物的功、总功及通过 $mg\bar{x}$ 的解释。

Answers:  (a) $W_{\text{cable}} = 4410\,\text{J}$  ·  (b) $W_{\text{load}} = 8820\,\text{J}$, $W_{\text{total}} = 13\,230\,\text{J}$

(a) Slice the cable; integrate(a) 对缆绳切片,积分 M1·A1·A1

Let $x$ be the distance below the top to a cable element of length $dx$. That element has mass $\rho\,dx = 4\,dx$ and must be lifted a distance $x$ to the top. (M1) The work element is设 $x$ 为大楼顶部到长度为 $dx$ 的缆绳元素的向下距离,该元素质量为 $\rho\,dx = 4\,dx$,需提升距离 $x$ 至顶部。(M1) 功的元素为

$$ dW = (\rho g\,dx)\cdot x = 4(9.8)\,x\,dx = 39.2\,x\,dx. $$

(A1) Integrating from $x = 0$ (top) to $x = 15$ (free end):(A1) 从 $x = 0$(顶部)积分到 $x = 15$(自由端):

$$ W_{\text{cable}} = \int_0^{15} 39.2\,x\,dx = 39.2\Big[\tfrac{x^2}{2}\Big]_0^{15} = 39.2\cdot \tfrac{225}{2} = 39.2\cdot 112.5 = 4410\,\text{J}. $$

(A1)

(b) Constant-force work for the load, then the CoM interpretation(b) 重物的恒力做功及质心解释 M1·A1·R1

The $60\,\text{kg}$ load hangs at $x = 15$ and is lifted the full $15\,\text{m}$ at constant weight: (M1)$60\,\text{kg}$ 重物挂在 $x = 15$ 处,以恒定重力提升整个 $15\,\text{m}$:(M1)

$$ W_{\text{load}} = 60(9.8)(15) = 8820\,\text{J}. $$

Total work $W_{\text{total}} = 4410 + 8820 = 13\,230\,\text{J}$. (A1)总功 $W_{\text{total}} = 4410 + 8820 = 13\,230\,\text{J}$。(A1)

Interpretation via center of mass: the cable (mass $m_c = 4\times 15 = 60\,\text{kg}$) has its center of mass at $x = 15/2 = 7.5\,\text{m}$ from the top; the load (mass $m_L = 60\,\text{kg}$) is at $x = 15\,\text{m}$. The combined center of mass from the top is通过质心解释:缆绳(质量 $m_c = 4\times 15 = 60\,\text{kg}$)的质心在距顶部 $x = 15/2 = 7.5\,\text{m}$ 处;重物(质量 $m_L = 60\,\text{kg}$)在 $x = 15\,\text{m}$ 处。合质心距顶部为

$$ \bar{x} = \frac{60(7.5) + 60(15)}{60 + 60} = \frac{450 + 900}{120} = \frac{1350}{120} = 11.25\,\text{m}. $$

Check: $mg\bar{x} = 120(9.8)(11.25) = 13\,230\,\text{J}$. (R1) The total work equals the work that would lift the entire mass from its combined center of mass.验算:$mg\bar{x} = 120(9.8)(11.25) = 13\,230\,\text{J}$。(R1) 总功等于将全部质量从其合质心处提升相同高度所做的功。

Insight. Cable work is "small times bounded" in reverse: each small piece of cable does have a definite lift distance (its initial depth $x$), so the element $dW = \rho g\,x\,dx$ is exact, not an approximation. The load adds a separate, constant-force term. The CoM check is a powerful sanity test: if you imagine collecting the total mass at its balance point and lifting it the same height, you get the same work, which is why $W = mg\bar{x}$ always holds for gravity problems.缆绳做功是"小量乘有界量"的逆向应用:每段缆绳有确定的提升距离(其初始深度 $x$),故 $dW = \rho g\,x\,dx$ 是精确的,而非近似。重物贡献一个单独的恒力项。质心验算是强有力的合理性检验:设想将总质量集中在质心处提升相同高度,所做的功相同,这就是为何 $W = mg\bar{x}$ 对重力问题始终成立。
Q4MEDIUMCOREaverage value and the Mean Value Theorem for Integrals平均值与积分中值定理[6 marks]

$T(x) = 20 + 80e^{-x/5}$ on $[0,10]$. (a) Find $T_{\text{avg}}$. (b) Find $c$ with $T(c) = T_{\text{avg}}$.$T(x) = 20 + 80e^{-x/5}$,$x \in [0,10]$。(a) 求 $T_{\text{avg}}$。(b) 求满足 $T(c) = T_{\text{avg}}$ 的 $c$。

Answers:  (a) $T_{\text{avg}} = 60 - 40e^{-2}$  ·  (b) $c = 5\ln\!\left(\dfrac{2}{1 - e^{-2}}\right)$

(a) Average value formula(a) 平均值公式 M1·M1·A1

Apply $f_{\text{avg}} = \tfrac{1}{b-a}\int_a^b f\,dx$ with $a=0$, $b=10$: (M1)用平均值公式 $f_{\text{avg}} = \tfrac{1}{b-a}\int_a^b f\,dx$,取 $a=0$,$b=10$:(M1)

$$ T_{\text{avg}} = \frac{1}{10}\int_0^{10}\!\big(20 + 80e^{-x/5}\big)\,dx = \frac{1}{10}\Big[20x - 400e^{-x/5}\Big]_0^{10}. $$

(M1 for antiderivative $\int e^{-x/5}dx = -5e^{-x/5}$)(M1 得原函数 $\int e^{-x/5}dx = -5e^{-x/5}$)

$$ = \frac{1}{10}\Big[\big(200 - 400e^{-2}\big) - \big(0 - 400\big)\Big] = \frac{1}{10}(600 - 400e^{-2}) = 60 - 40e^{-2}. $$

(A1) Numerically, $T_{\text{avg}} \approx 60 - 40(0.1353) \approx 54.6\,^\circ\text{C}$.(A1) 数值上,$T_{\text{avg}} \approx 60 - 40(0.1353) \approx 54.6\,^\circ\text{C}$。

(b) Solve $T(c) = T_{\text{avg}}$(b) 解方程 $T(c) = T_{\text{avg}}$ M1·M1·A1

Set $20 + 80e^{-c/5} = 60 - 40e^{-2}$. (M1) Then $80e^{-c/5} = 40 - 40e^{-2} = 40(1 - e^{-2})$, so令 $20 + 80e^{-c/5} = 60 - 40e^{-2}$。(M1) 则 $80e^{-c/5} = 40 - 40e^{-2} = 40(1 - e^{-2})$,故

$$ e^{-c/5} = \frac{1 - e^{-2}}{2}. $$

Taking natural logarithm: $-c/5 = \ln\!\left(\tfrac{1-e^{-2}}{2}\right)$. (M1) Therefore取自然对数:$-c/5 = \ln\!\left(\tfrac{1-e^{-2}}{2}\right)$。(M1) 故

$$ c = -5\ln\!\left(\frac{1 - e^{-2}}{2}\right) = 5\ln\!\left(\frac{2}{1 - e^{-2}}\right). $$

(A1) Since $\tfrac{1-e^{-2}}{2} \approx 0.432 < 1$, its logarithm is negative, confirming $c > 0$; numerically $c \approx 5(0.839) \approx 4.2\,\text{cm}$, which lies in $[0,10]$ as the theorem guarantees.(A1) 由于 $\tfrac{1-e^{-2}}{2} \approx 0.432 < 1$,其对数为负,确认 $c > 0$;数值上 $c \approx 5(0.839) \approx 4.2\,\text{cm}$,在 $[0,10]$ 内,符合定理的保证。

Insight. The average value $\tfrac{1}{b-a}\int_a^b f\,dx$ is the constant height of a rectangle on $[a,b]$ with the same area as the curve. The Mean Value Theorem for Integrals then says $f$ must cross that height somewhere inside the interval. Solving for $c$ involves inverting $f$, which here requires taking a logarithm. Always check that the solution lies in $[a,b]$ as a sanity test.平均值 $\tfrac{1}{b-a}\int_a^b f\,dx$ 是 $[a,b]$ 上与曲线等面积的矩形的高度。积分中值定理表明 $f$ 在区间内某处必然达到该高度。求 $c$ 需要对 $f$ 求反函数,此处需取对数。始终验证解在 $[a,b]$ 内以作合理性检验。

Q5HARDPROOFderiving centroid formulas via moments通过矩推导形心公式[8 marks]

(a) Starting from $dm = \delta f(x)\,dx$ and strip center $(x, \tfrac{1}{2}f(x))$, derive the centroid formulas for $\bar{x}$ and $\bar{y}$. Explain why $\delta$ cancels. (b) State and justify the $\bar{y}$ formula for a region between two curves $f \ge g$.(a) 从 $dm = \delta f(x)\,dx$ 及条形中心 $(x, \tfrac{1}{2}f(x))$ 出发,推导 $\bar{x}$ 和 $\bar{y}$ 的形心公式,并解释为何 $\delta$ 可消去。(b) 对 $f \ge g$ 的两曲线间区域,写出 $\bar{y}$ 的公式并给出理由。

Answers:  (a) $\bar{x} = \frac{\int x f\,dx}{\int f\,dx}$, $\bar{y} = \frac{\int \tfrac{1}{2}f^2\,dx}{\int f\,dx}$; $\delta$ cancels from both numerator and denominator$\delta$ 在分子和分母中均消去  ·  (b) $\bar{y} = \frac{\int \tfrac{1}{2}(f^2-g^2)\,dx}{A}$; this is the midpoint $(f+g)/2$ times the strip width $(f-g)$这是中点高度 $(f+g)/2$ 乘以条带宽度 $(f-g)$

(a) Derive both centroid formulas(a) 推导两个形心公式 M1·M1·A1·M1·A1

The mass element of a vertical strip at position $x$ of width $dx$ is $dm = \delta f(x)\,dx$. (M1) The total mass is位置 $x$ 处宽度为 $dx$ 的竖直条的质量元素为 $dm = \delta f(x)\,dx$。(M1) 总质量为

$$ m = \int_a^b \delta f(x)\,dx = \delta\int_a^b f(x)\,dx = \delta\,A, $$

where $A = \int_a^b f(x)\,dx$ is the area.其中 $A = \int_a^b f(x)\,dx$ 为面积。

The moment about the $y$-axis uses $x$ as the distance to that axis: $dM_y = x\,dm = x\,\delta\,f(x)\,dx$. (M1) Therefore对 $y$ 轴的矩以 $x$ 为到轴的距离:$dM_y = x\,dm = x\,\delta\,f(x)\,dx$。(M1) 故

$$ M_y = \delta\int_a^b x\,f(x)\,dx, \qquad \bar{x} = \frac{M_y}{m} = \frac{\delta\int_a^b x\,f(x)\,dx}{\delta\int_a^b f(x)\,dx} = \frac{\int_a^b x\,f(x)\,dx}{\int_a^b f(x)\,dx}. $$

(A1) The constant density $\delta$ cancels from numerator and denominator, leaving a formula that depends only on geometry.(A1) 常数密度 $\delta$ 在分子和分母中消去,留下仅依赖几何形状的公式。

The moment about the $x$-axis uses the vertical distance to that axis, which for the strip is its center height $\tfrac{1}{2}f(x)$: $dM_x = \tfrac{1}{2}f(x)\,dm = \tfrac{1}{2}f(x)\cdot\delta\,f(x)\,dx = \tfrac{\delta}{2}[f(x)]^2\,dx$. (M1) Therefore对 $x$ 轴的矩以竖直距离为臂,对于该条形即其中心高度 $\tfrac{1}{2}f(x)$:$dM_x = \tfrac{1}{2}f(x)\,dm = \tfrac{1}{2}f(x)\cdot\delta\,f(x)\,dx = \tfrac{\delta}{2}[f(x)]^2\,dx$。(M1) 故

$$ M_x = \frac{\delta}{2}\int_a^b [f(x)]^2\,dx, \qquad \bar{y} = \frac{M_x}{m} = \frac{\tfrac{\delta}{2}\int_a^b [f(x)]^2\,dx}{\delta\int_a^b f(x)\,dx} = \frac{\int_a^b \tfrac{1}{2}[f(x)]^2\,dx}{\int_a^b f(x)\,dx}. $$

(A1) Again $\delta$ cancels; the centroid is a purely geometric quantity.(A1) $\delta$ 再次消去;形心是纯几何量。

(b) Region between two curves(b) 两曲线之间的区域 M1·A1·R1

For a strip between $y = g(x)$ (bottom) and $y = f(x)$ (top), the strip has width $dx$, height $f(x) - g(x)$, and its center lies at the midpoint height $\tfrac{1}{2}(f(x) + g(x))$. (M1) So对于 $y = g(x)$(下方)与 $y = f(x)$(上方)之间的条形,宽度为 $dx$,高度为 $f(x) - g(x)$,中心在中点高度 $\tfrac{1}{2}(f(x) + g(x))$ 处。(M1) 故

$$ dM_x = \tfrac{1}{2}\big[f(x) + g(x)\big]\cdot\delta\big[f(x) - g(x)\big]\,dx = \frac{\delta}{2}\big[f(x)^2 - g(x)^2\big]\,dx. $$

Therefore $\bar{y} = \dfrac{\int_a^b \tfrac{1}{2}[f(x)^2 - g(x)^2]\,dx}{\int_a^b [f(x) - g(x)]\,dx}$. (A1)故 $\bar{y} = \dfrac{\int_a^b \tfrac{1}{2}[f(x)^2 - g(x)^2]\,dx}{\int_a^b [f(x) - g(x)]\,dx}$。(A1)

The expression $\tfrac{1}{2}[f^2 - g^2]$ is NOT $\tfrac{1}{2}[f-g]^2$: the first is $\tfrac{1}{2}(f+g)(f-g)$, the product of midpoint times height; the second squares only the height and discards the midpoint information. (R1)表达式 $\tfrac{1}{2}[f^2 - g^2]$ 不是 $\tfrac{1}{2}[f-g]^2$:前者为 $\tfrac{1}{2}(f+g)(f-g)$,即中点高度乘以条带高度;后者仅对高度取平方,丢失了中点信息。(R1)

Insight. The centroid derivation is the cleanest illustration of the "slice and integrate" philosophy: each strip contributes $x\,dm$ to $M_y$ and $\tfrac{1}{2}f(x)\,dm$ to $M_x$. The factor $\delta$ (density) appears in both numerator and denominator of $\bar{x} = M_y/m$ and $\bar{y} = M_x/m$, so it cancels. The centroid is therefore a property of shape alone, not of how heavy the material is. This is why engineers use it to analyze structural geometry without knowing the material.形心推导是"切片并积分"思想的最清晰体现:每条条形对 $M_y$ 贡献 $x\,dm$,对 $M_x$ 贡献 $\tfrac{1}{2}f(x)\,dm$。密度 $\delta$ 同时出现在 $\bar{x} = M_y/m$ 和 $\bar{y} = M_x/m$ 的分子和分母中,因此消去。形心因此是形状本身的属性,与材料重量无关。这就是工程师在不知道材料的情况下用形心分析结构几何的原因。
Q6HARDPROOFprobability density: normalization, mean, median, tail probability概率密度:归一化、均值、中位数、尾概率[10 marks]

(d) Show $P(X \le 2) = 16/27 > 1/2$, and hence locate the median.$f(x) = c\,x^2(3-x)$,$x \in [0,3]$,其余为零。(a) 求 $c$。(b) 求 $\mu = E[X]$。(c) 求 $P(1 \le X \le 2)$。(d) 证明 $P(X \le 2) = 16/27 > 1/2$,并据此确定中位数的范围。

Answers:  (a) $c = \tfrac{4}{27}$  ·  (b) $\mu = \tfrac{9}{5}$  ·  (c) $P = \tfrac{13}{27}$  ·  (d) median $\in (0,2)$中位数 $\in (0,2)$

(a) Normalize(a) 归一化 M1·A1

Require $\int_0^3 c\,x^2(3-x)\,dx = 1$. (M1) Expand: $\int_0^3 (3x^2 - x^3)\,dx = \Big[x^3 - \tfrac{x^4}{4}\Big]_0^3 = 27 - \tfrac{81}{4} = \tfrac{108 - 81}{4} = \tfrac{27}{4}$. So $c\cdot\tfrac{27}{4} = 1$ and $c = \tfrac{4}{27}$.

(d) Locate the median(d) 确定中位数范围 M1·A1

The median $m$ satisfies $\int_0^m f(x)\,dx = \tfrac{1}{2}$. (M1) Compute:中位数 $m$ 满足 $\int_0^m f(x)\,dx = \tfrac{1}{2}$。(M1) 计算:

$$ P(X \le 2) = \tfrac{4}{27}\int_0^2 (3x^2 - x^3)\,dx = \tfrac{4}{27}\Big[x^3 - \tfrac{x^4}{4}\Big]_0^2 = \tfrac{4}{27}\Big[8 - 4\Big] = \tfrac{4}{27}\cdot 4 = \tfrac{16}{27}. $$

(A1) Since $\tfrac{16}{27} > \tfrac{1}{2}$, exactly half the probability mass lies to the left of some point less than $2$, so $m < 2$. Since $f(x) > 0$ for $x \in (0,3)$, we also have $P(X \le 0) = 0 < \tfrac{1}{2}$, so $m > 0$. Therefore the median satisfies $m \in (0, 2)$.(A1) 由于 $\tfrac{16}{27} > \tfrac{1}{2}$,恰好一半的概率质量在某个小于 $2$ 的点左侧,故 $m < 2$。由于 $f(x) > 0$($x \in (0,3)$),$P(X \le 0) = 0 < \tfrac{1}{2}$,故 $m > 0$。因此中位数满足 $m \in (0, 2)$。

Insight. The three operations on a pdf are: (1) normalize (force total area to $1$); (2) compute the mean via $\mu = \int x f(x)\,dx$ (the balance point, which is the center-of-mass idea applied to probability); (3) compute probabilities and the median via cumulative integrals. Here $\mu = 9/5 = 1.8$, the median is approximately $1.84$, and the mode is at $x = 2$ (where $f'(x) = 0$). The ordering mean $<$ median $<$ mode indicates the distribution is left-skewed (negatively skewed): the left tail pulls the mean below the median.对概率密度函数的三种运算:(1) 归一化(使总面积为 $1$);(2) 通过 $\mu = \int x f(x)\,dx$ 计算均值(平衡点,即质心思想应用于概率);(3) 通过累积积分计算概率和中位数。这里 $\mu = 9/5 = 1.8$,中位数约为 $1.84$,众数在 $x = 2$($f'(x) = 0$ 处)。均值 $<$ 中位数 $<$ 众数的顺序表明分布左偏(负偏):左侧尾部将均值拉低于中位数。

(a) Strip width and force element(a) 条带宽度和压力元素 M1·A1·A1

The triangle has its base (width $6$) at $h = 0$ and its apex (width $0$) at $h = 4$. It narrows linearly, so $L(h) = 6\cdot\tfrac{4-h}{4} = \tfrac{3}{2}(4-h)$. (M1·A1)三角形底边(宽 $6$)在 $h = 0$ 处,顶点(宽 $0$)在 $h = 4$ 处,线性收窄,故 $L(h) = 6\cdot\tfrac{4-h}{4} = \tfrac{3}{2}(4-h)$。(M1·A1)

(c) Centroid shortcut and geometry(c) 形心捷径与几何 M1·A1

The area of the triangle is $A = \tfrac{1}{2}\cdot 6\cdot 4 = 12\,\text{m}^2$. (M1) The centroid shortcut gives三角形面积为 $A = \tfrac{1}{2}\cdot 6\cdot 4 = 12\,\text{m}^2$。(M1) 形心捷径给出

$$ \bar{h} = \frac{F}{w\,A} = \frac{156\,800}{9800\cdot 12} = \frac{156\,800}{117\,600} = \frac{4}{3}\,\text{m}. $$

(A1) The base of the triangle is at the surface ($h = 0$) and the apex is at $h = 4$. The centroid of a triangle lies one-third of the height measured from the base, i.e., at $h = \tfrac{1}{3}\cdot 4 = \tfrac{4}{3}$ from the surface. This is consistent. The result confirms both the integral calculation and the shortcut $F = w\bar{h}A$.(A1) 三角形底边在水面($h = 0$),顶点在 $h = 4$ 处。三角形的形心在距底边三分之一高处,即从水面起 $h = \tfrac{1}{3}\cdot 4 = \tfrac{4}{3}$ 处。结果一致。这既验证了积分计算,也验证了捷径公式 $F = w\bar{h}A$。

Insight. The hydrostatic force integral follows the same "slice, express element, integrate" template: $dF = (\text{pressure at depth }h)\times(\text{strip area}) = w\,h\,L(h)\,dh$. The critical step is getting $L(h)$ right: for a triangle that narrows linearly, similar triangles give $L(h) = L_0\cdot(H-h)/H$. The centroid shortcut $F = w\bar{h}A$ is a compact summary of the entire integral and is an excellent cross-check.静水压力积分遵循相同的"切片,写出元素,积分"模板:$dF = (\text{深度 }h \text{ 处压强})\times(\text{条带面积}) = w\,h\,L(h)\,dh$。关键步骤是正确求 $L(h)$:对线性收窄的三角形,相似三角形给出 $L(h) = L_0\cdot(H-h)/H$。形心捷径 $F = w\bar{h}A$ 是整个积分的简洁概括,是极好的交叉验算方式。

(a) Similar-triangle radius formula(a) 相似三角形半径公式 M1·A1

The cone widens linearly from radius $0$ at $y = 0$ (vertex) to radius $3$ at $y = 12$ (rim). By similar triangles, $r/y = 3/12$, so $r(y) = y/4$. (M1·A1)锥形从 $y = 0$(顶点,半径 $0$)到 $y = 12$(顶部,半径 $3$)线性扩大。由相似三角形,$r/y = 3/12$,故 $r(y) = y/4$。(M1·A1)

(d) Factor increase to a full cone(d) 注满时功的增大倍数 M1·A1

If filled to $y = 12$, the integral becomes $500\pi\int_0^{12}(12y^2 - y^3)\,dy$. (M1)若注满至 $y = 12$,积分变为 $500\pi\int_0^{12}(12y^2 - y^3)\,dy$。(M1)

$$ \int_0^{12}(12y^2 - y^3)\,dy = \Big[4y^3 - \tfrac{y^4}{4}\Big]_0^{12} = 4(1728) - \tfrac{20736}{4} = 6912 - 5184 = 1728. $$

The factor increase is $\dfrac{W_{12}}{W_9} = \dfrac{500\pi\cdot 1728}{500\pi\cdot 5103/4} = \dfrac{1728\cdot 4}{5103} = \dfrac{6912}{5103} = \dfrac{256}{189} \approx 1.354$. (A1)功的增大倍数为 $\dfrac{W_{12}}{W_9} = \dfrac{500\pi\cdot 1728}{500\pi\cdot 5103/4} = \dfrac{1728\cdot 4}{5103} = \dfrac{6912}{5103} = \dfrac{256}{189} \approx 1.354$。(A1)

Insight. For a non-cylindrical tank, the cross-section $A(y)$ is a genuine function of $y$, not a constant. The crucial move is finding $r(y)$ by similar triangles before writing $A(y) = \pi r(y)^2$. The lift distance $12 - y$ is always measured to the exit (the rim), not to the liquid surface at $y = 9$. Note that $y^2(12-y)$ integrates to a polynomial: expand, antidifferentiate term by term, and evaluate carefully. The cone full to $y = 12$ requires $256/189 \approx 35\%$ more work, illustrating how strongly upper-limit changes affect the answer when the integrand grows like $y^3$.对非圆柱形容器,横截面 $A(y)$ 是 $y$ 的真实函数,而非常数。关键步骤是先用相似三角形求 $r(y)$,再写出 $A(y) = \pi r(y)^2$。提升距离 $12 - y$ 始终量到出口(顶部边缘),而非液面 $y = 9$。注意 $y^2(12-y)$ 展开后为多项式:展开,逐项求原函数,仔细求值。锥形注满至 $y = 12$ 需多做约 $35\%$ 的功,说明当被积函数像 $y^3$ 那样增长时,上限变化对结果影响显著。

Place the origin at the center of the circle. A strip at height $y$ (with $-1 \le y \le 1$) is at depth $h = 3 - y$ below the surface (M1) and has half-width $\sqrt{1-y^2}$, giving strip width $L(y) = 2\sqrt{1-y^2}$.

The first integral is the area of the upper half of the unit circle: $\int_{-1}^{1}\sqrt{1-y^2}\,dy = \tfrac{\pi}{2}$. (M1) The second integrand $y\sqrt{1-y^2}$ is an odd function on the symmetric interval $[-1,1]$, so it integrates to $0$. Therefore第一个积分是单位圆上半部面积:$\int_{-1}^{1}\sqrt{1-y^2}\,dy = \tfrac{\pi}{2}$。(M1) 第二个被积函数 $y\sqrt{1-y^2}$ 在对称区间 $[-1,1]$ 上为奇函数,积分为 $0$。故

$$ F_{\text{win}} = 2w\left[3\cdot\tfrac{\pi}{2} - 0\right] = 3\pi w = 3\pi(9800) = 29\,400\pi \approx 92\,360\,\text{N}. $$

(A1)

Centroid shortcut: the circle has area $A = \pi(1)^2 = \pi\,\text{m}^2$ and its center (which is also its centroid) is at depth $\bar{h} = 3\,\text{m}$. So $w\bar{h}A = 9800\cdot 3\cdot\pi = 29\,400\pi$. (A1) The two methods agree exactly.形心捷径:圆的面积 $A = \pi(1)^2 = \pi\,\text{m}^2$,其圆心(也是形心)在深度 $\bar{h} = 3\,\text{m}$ 处。故 $w\bar{h}A = 9800\cdot 3\cdot\pi = 29\,400\pi$。(A1) 两种方法结果完全一致。

Insight. The circular window problem exploits two powerful tools. First, the linear split $\int (3-y)f(y)\,dy = 3\int f\,dy - \int y\,f\,dy$ separates a geometric area integral from a moment integral. Second, the odd-function symmetry eliminates the moment integral entirely: the circle is symmetric about its center, so the moments above and below cancel. The centroid shortcut $F = w\bar{h}A$ works here because the entire window is submerged in a single fluid, confirming that the shortcut is valid and that the centroid of a disk is its geometric center.圆形窗问题利用了两个强大工具。首先,线性拆分 $\int (3-y)f(y)\,dy = 3\int f\,dy - \int y\,f\,dy$ 将几何面积积分与矩积分分离。其次,奇函数对称性完全消去矩积分:圆关于圆心对称,上下方的矩相互抵消。形心捷径 $F = w\bar{h}A$ 在此适用,因为整个窗口浸没在同一流体中,这证实了捷径的有效性,以及圆盘的形心就是其几何中心。

Insight. The two-curve centroid computation has three distinct integrals: the area $\int(f-g)$, the $\bar{x}$ moment $\int x(f-g)$, and the $\bar{y}$ moment $\int \tfrac{1}{2}(f^2-g^2)$. The most common error is using $\tfrac{1}{2}(f-g)^2$ instead of $\tfrac{1}{2}(f^2-g^2)$. Remember: $\tfrac{1}{2}(f^2-g^2) = \tfrac{1}{2}(f+g)(f-g)$ is the midpoint height times the strip height, which is the correct moment arm. The centroid $(\tfrac{4}{5}, \tfrac{6}{5})$ lies inside the region, which is a necessary sanity check.两曲线形心计算涉及三个不同的积分:面积 $\int(f-g)$,$\bar{x}$ 的矩 $\int x(f-g)$,以及 $\bar{y}$ 的矩 $\int \tfrac{1}{2}(f^2-g^2)$。最常见的错误是用 $\tfrac{1}{2}(f-g)^2$ 代替 $\tfrac{1}{2}(f^2-g^2)$。记住:$\tfrac{1}{2}(f^2-g^2) = \tfrac{1}{2}(f+g)(f-g)$ 是中点高度乘以条带高度,这才是正确的力臂。形心 $(\tfrac{4}{5}, \tfrac{6}{5})$ 在区域内,是必要的合理性检验。
