Question 177

A research probe is submerged in a fluid where the vertical force, F F\,F kilonewtons, exerted on its hull is modeled by the function

F(d)=54d2+4d−26,d>0 F(d) = \frac{54}{d^2} + 4d - 26, \quad d > 0 F(d)=d254​+4d−26,d>0

where d d\,d is the depth in metres below the surface.

Using calculus,

a.

determine the range of depths for which the vertical force F(d)F(d)F(d) is increasing.

[3]
b.

show that ∫39(54d2+4d−26)dd=0\displaystyle \int_{3}^{9} \left( \frac{54}{d^2} + 4d - 26 \right) dd = 0∫39​(d254​+4d−26)dd=0.

c.

The points A(3,−8)A(3, -8)A(3,−8) and B(6,−0.5)B(6, -0.5)B(6,−0.5) lie on the curve F(d)F(d)F(d).

Given that ∫36(54d2+4d−26)dd=−15\displaystyle \int_{3}^{6} \left( \frac{54}{d^2} + 4d - 26 \right) dd = -15∫36​(d254​+4d−26)dd=−15.

(i) state the value of ∫69(54d2+4d−26)dd\displaystyle \int_{6}^{9} \left( \frac{54}{d^2} + 4d - 26 \right) dd∫69​(d254​+4d−26)dd.

(ii) find the value of the constant k k\,k such that ∫36(54d2+4d+k)dd=0\displaystyle \int_{3}^{6} \left( \frac{54}{d^2} + 4d + k \right) dd = 0∫36​(d254​+4d+k)dd=0.
