(13) Quadratic mean ; arithmetical mean . The first involves a somewhat difficult integral, and may be stated thus: By definition the quadratic mean will be

.

Now the integration indicated by

is more readily obtained if for we write

.

For we write ; and, for ,

.

Making these substitutions, and integrating, we get (see p. 202)

.

At the lower limit the substitution of for causes all this to vanish, whilst at the upper limit the substitution of for gives . And hence the answer follows.

(14) Area is square units. Mean ordinate is .

(16) . (This solid is pear shaped.)
