Answer

The volume of inhaled air in the lungs at time $~t~$ is $~\frac{5}{4\pi}~ (1-cos~\frac{2\pi~t}{5})~liters$

Work Step by Step

We can find an expression for the volume of inhaled air in the lungs at time $t$: $\int_{0}^{t}f(t)~dt$ $= \int_{0}^{t}\frac{1}{2}sin(\frac{2\pi~t}{5})~dt$ Let $u = \frac{2\pi~t}{5}$ $\frac{du}{dt} = \frac{2\pi}{5}$ $dt = \frac{5~du}{2\pi}$ $\int_{0}^{2\pi~t/5}\frac{1}{2}sin~u~\frac{5~du}{2\pi}$ $=\int_{0}^{2\pi~t/5}\frac{5}{4\pi}sin~u~du$ $=\frac{5}{4\pi}(-cos~u)~\vert_{0}^{2\pi~t/5}$ $=\frac{5}{4\pi}\cdot [(-cos~\frac{2\pi~t}{5})-(-cos~0)]$ $=\frac{5}{4\pi}~ (1-cos~\frac{2\pi~t}{5})$ The volume of inhaled air in the lungs at time $~t~$ is $~\frac{5}{4\pi}~ (1-cos~\frac{2\pi~t}{5})~liters$
