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
