The width at the base of the tunnel entrance is 2 metres and its maximum height is 3 metres. The shape of the cross-section can be modelled by the curve with equation y = f ( x ) where f ( x ) = 3 cos 2 2 π x x ∈ [−1, 1] A wooden door of uniform thickness 85 mm is to be made to seal the tunnel entrance. Use Simpson’s rule with 6 intervals to estimate the volume of wood required for this door, giving your answer in m3 to 4 significant figures.
