The region bounded by the axes and the curve \(y=\cos x\) from \(x=0\) to \(x=\frac{1}{2}\pi \) is divided into two parts, of areas \({{A}_{1}}\) and \({{A}_{2}}\), by the curve \(y=\sin x\) (see diagram). Prove that \({{A}_{2}}=\left( \sqrt{2} \right){{A}_{1}}\).[6]
The two curves meet at \(P\). The line through \(P\)parallel to the \(x\)-axis meets the \(y\)-axis at \(Q\). The region \(OPQ\), bounded by the arc \(OP\) and the lines \(PQ\) and \(QO\), is rotated through \(4\) right angles about the \(y\)-axis to form a solid of revolution of volume \(V\). It is given that
\(C = \pi \int_{0}^{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}} \left(\sin^{-1} y\right)^2 \mathrm{d}y.\)
By substituting \(u={{\sin }^{-1}}y\), show that \(V = \pi \int_{0}^{\frac{1}{4}\pi} u^2 \cos u \, \mathrm{d}u\).
