Question 256
a.

Use the substitution u=2+sin⁡θu = 2 + \sin \thetau=2+sinθ to show that the integral

∫24sin⁡2θ(2+sin⁡θ)3dθ \int \frac{24 \sin 2\theta}{(2 + \sin \theta)^3} d\theta ∫(2+sinθ)324sin2θ​dθ

can be written in the form

∫(48u2−96u3)du \int \left( \frac{48}{u^2} - \frac{96}{u^3} \right) du ∫(u248​−u396​)du

b.

The torque τ\tauτ (in N m) generated by a mechanical component is modeled by the function

τ(θ)=24sin⁡2θ(2+sin⁡θ)3,0≤θ≤π2 \tau(\theta) = \frac{24 \sin 2\theta}{(2 + \sin \theta)^3}, \quad 0 \le \theta \le \frac{\pi}{2} τ(θ)=(2+sinθ)324sin2θ​,0≤θ≤2π​

where θ\thetaθ is the angle of rotation in radians. Calculate the exact value of the total work done, given by ∫0π/2τ(θ)dθ\int_{0}^{\pi/2} \tau(\theta) d\theta∫0π/2​τ(θ)dθ.

Show each stage of your working and give your answer as a fraction in its simplest form.
