Application of Integrals are used in many fields, including mathematics, science, and engineering.

  • An integral is a function whose derivative is a given function. 
  • Integration is mostly used to determine the areas of two-dimensional regions and the volumes of three-dimensional objects.
  • The integral is also called anti-derivative as it is the reverse process of differentiation.

There are many applications of integrals, some of which are given below:

  • To find the average value of a curve
  • To find the area between two curves
  • Centre of gravity
  • To find the center of mass(Centroid) of an area having curved sides
  • The mass and momentum of a tower
  • The velocity of a satellite at the time of placing it in orbit
  • To find the area under a curve
  • Mass and momentum of satellites
