Directions:
• When instructed to open the exam, please check that you have 7
pages of questions in
addition to the cover page. There are two blank pages and a formula sheet attached which
can be used as scratch paper.
• You may write on the backside of the pages, but if you use the backside, clearly indicate that
you have done so.
• Cheating is a serious violation of the HKUST Academic Code. Students caught
cheating will receive a zero score for the examination, and will also be subjected
to further penalties imposed by the University.

12. [15 pts] The region enclosed by the curves y = ln(12 − x2 ) and y = ln 3 is rotated about the y-axis
to generate a solid of revolution.
13. [15 pts] A container has the shape of a bowl obtained by rotating the curve y = 8x3 , 0 ≤ x ≤ 1,
around the y-axis. The lowest point of the container is 5 m above the ground. Find the work
required to fill the tank by pumping water from the ground through a thin tube connecting the
ground to the bottom of the tank. (Ignore the water in the thin tube.) Recall the density of water
is ρ = 1000 kg/m3 , and g = 9.8 m/s2 is gravity acceleration. [15 pts]
(You may use the symbols ρ and g to represent your answer.)
