One problem that was stuck in my mind in this classwork assignment would be item #2 in classwork assignment 4 which is regarding work. To discuss, the problem is tackling about the force of 1200 N compresses a spring from its natural length of 18 cm to a length of 16 cm. How much work is done in compressing it from 16 cm to 14 cm. I find this problem challenging di=ue to the fact that one must need first to learn the basic concepts of work in order in order to arrive to the outcome. This problem was answered with the presence of the integration for work as function of x from one boundary to another. To be specific, applying the hooke's law to these given values, the answer was easily determined to be 36 J.
Module 3: Problems Using Integration Formulas
This module will help you use integration formulas for the solution of some problems concerning area, volumes, work, and hydrostatic pressure.
In this module, I realize that integration can be applied in different real-life situations and can be presented in graphs that is why we needed to incorporate integration formulas. To be exact, we can now highly observe that this topic is with relation to the applications whether regarding work, force and even area. It is reflected in mine that integration is a way of adding slices to find the whole. We use integration to find areas, volumes, central points and many useful things and a non uniform curve with some given function and it is deeply discussed in this topic of discussion.
Overall, I learned that integration does not solely focus on concepts but in its application.
It is evident in this topic that I applied integration to the evaluation of areas, volumes of revolution, force, and work. As it is one of the middle topics, I find myself engaged based on the reflective learnings that I had in this topic.
