Thefollowingfiveguidelineswillbeuseful. (1)Order ofElement.Wheneverpossible,afirst-orderdifferential elementshouldbeselectedinpreferencetoahigher-order elementso thatonlyoneintegration willberequiredtocovertheentirefigure. Thus, inFig.5/8aafirst-orderhorizontalstripofareadA=ldywillre- quireonlyoneintegration withrespecttoytocovertheentirefigure. Thesecond-orderelementdxdywillrequiretwointegrations,firstwith respecttoxandsecondwithrespecttoy,tocoverthefigure.Asafurther example,forthesolidcone inFig.5/8bwechooseafirst-orderelementin theformofacircularsliceofvolumedV=r2dy.Thischoicerequires onlyone integration,andthusispreferabletochoosingathird-orderele- mentdV=dxdydz,whichwouldrequirethreeawkwardintegrations. (2)Continuity.Wheneverpossible,wechooseanelementwhichcan beintegratedinonecontinuousoperationtocoverthefigure.Thus,the horizontalstripinFig.5/8awouldbepreferabletothevertical stripin Fig.5/9,which,ifused,wouldrequiretwoseparateintegralsbecauseof thediscontinuityintheexpressionfortheheightofthestripatx=x1. (3)DiscardingHigher-OrderTerms. Higher-ordertermsmayal- waysbedroppedcomparedwithlower-orderterms(seeArt.1/7). Thus, theverticalstripofareaunderthecurveinFig.5/10 isgivenbythe y y dy y x x1 x dx Figure 5/9 Figure 5/10 y y l dy dx dy x x (a) y y dy r x z (b) Figure 5/8
