taiwan-gsat 2024 Q20 8 marks Volume of a 3D Geometric Solid (Pyramid/Tetrahedron)
As shown in the figure, consider a rectangular stone block with a vertex $A$ and a face containing point $A$. Let the midpoints of the edges of this face be $B , E , F , D$ respectively. Another face of the rectangular block containing point $B$ has its edge midpoints as $B , C , H , G$ respectively. Given that $\overline { B C } = 8$ and $\overline { B D } = \overline { D C } = 9$. The stone block is now cut to remove eight corners, such that the cutting plane for each corner passes through the midpoints of the three adjacent edges of that corner.
Find the length of $\overline { A D }$ and the volume of tetrahedron $A B C D$, and find the height from vertex $A$ to the base plane when $\triangle B C D$ is the base of the tetrahedron. (Volume of pyramid $= \frac { \text{Base area} \times \text{Height} } { 3 }$) (Non-multiple choice question, 8 points)
taiwan-gsat 2025 Q17 6 marks Volume of Revolution with Parameter Determination
Let $f(x) = 3ax^{2} + (1 - a)$ be a real coefficient polynomial function, where $-\frac{1}{2} \leq a \leq 1$. On the coordinate plane, let $\Gamma$ be the region enclosed by $y = f(x)$ and the $x$-axis for $-1 \leq x \leq 1$.
Let $V$ be the volume of the solid of revolution obtained by rotating $\Gamma$ about the $x$-axis. For all $a \in \left[-\frac{1}{2}, 1\right]$, is $V$ always equal? If equal, find its value; if not equal, find the value of $a$ for which $V$ has a maximum value, and find this maximum value. (Non-multiple choice question, 6 points)
todai-math 2016 Q2 Volume of Revolution about a Horizontal Axis (Evaluate)
Consider a twice differentiable function $y ( x )$ in an $x y$ plane which connects two points $A ( - 1,2 )$ and $B ( 1,2 )$. Let $S$ be outer surface area of the cylindrical object created by rotation of the curve $y ( x )$ about the $x$ axis. Answer the following questions.
(1) Prove that the surface area $S$ is given by
$$\begin{aligned} S & = 2 \pi \int _ { - 1 } ^ { 1 } F \left( y , y ^ { \prime } \right) \mathrm { d } x \\ F \left( y , y ^ { \prime } \right) & = y \sqrt { 1 + \left( y ^ { \prime } \right) ^ { 2 } } \end{aligned}$$
where $y ^ { \prime } = \frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} x }$.
(2) Let the curve $y ( x )$ satisfy the following Euler-Lagrange equation for arbitrary $x$:
$$\frac { \partial F } { \partial y } - \frac { \mathrm { d } } { \mathrm {~d} x } \frac { \partial F } { \partial y ^ { \prime } } = 0$$
Considering Eq. (2.3) along with $\frac { \mathrm { d} F } { \mathrm {~d} x }$, prove that the following relation holds:
$$F - y ^ { \prime } \frac { \partial F } { \partial y ^ { \prime } } = c$$
Here $c$ is a constant.
(3) Express a differential equation satisfied by the curve $y ( x )$ using $y , y ^ { \prime } , c$.
(4) Represent the curve $y ( x )$ as a function of $x$ and $c$.
Obtain an equation which should be satisfied by the constant $c$.
