HOMEWORK
MTH 255H - Spring 2003

You are strongly encouraged to work as many problems as possible, not just the ones assigned below.

You can develop your skills on the problems in Stewart, the text for the regular section.

You may wish to try the homework problems assigned in the regular section.

The suggested problems from the Study Guide can be found here.

(A copy of Stewart is on reserve in the library.)

Review (not to turn in):

Chapter 20 Review (pages 919-922): 7, 8, 9, 45

Try some of the Check Your Understanding problems in Chapters 19 (p. 884) and 20 (pp. 923-924).

§18.1: 12

A helix with 17 turns has height H and radius R. Charge is distributed on the helix so that the linear charge density increases like the square of the distance up the helix. At the bottom of the helix the linear charge density is 0 Coulombs/meter. At the top of the helix, the linear charge density is 13 Coulombs/meter. What is the total charge on the helix?
