Question
All lengths in this question are in metres.
Let \(f(x) = - 0.8{x^2} + 0.5\), for \( - 0.5 \leqslant x \leqslant 0.5\). Mark uses \(f(x)\) as a model to create a barrel. The region enclosed by the graph of \(f\), the \(x\)-axis, the line \(x = - 0.5\) and the line \(x = 0.5\) is rotated 360° about the \(x\)-axis. This is shown in the following diagram.
Use the model to find the volume of the barrel.
The empty barrel is being filled with water. The volume \(V{\text{ }}{{\text{m}}^3}\) of water in the barrel after \(t\) minutes is given by \(V = 0.8(1 - {{\text{e}}^{ - 0.1t}})\). How long will it take for the barrel to be half-full?
