Consider the function , for . The region bounded by the graph of , the -axis and the lines and is rotated radians about the -axis.
(a) the range of .
(b) Find the volume of revolution generated.
The function is defined by for .
The curve is the graph of , and the region is bounded by , the -axis and the -axis.
…
The function is defined by for , together with .
The region bounded by the curve , the -axis and the line is rotated through about the -axis. The solid formed has volume .
…
Let and let satisfy .
The region consists of the points with .
Rotating through about the -axis gives a solid , called a ring; it is what is left of the ball of radius centred at the origin once a cylindrical hole of radius has been bored along the -axis.
…
Let , for . Consider the region bounded by the graph of , the x-axis, and the lines and .
(b) Find the area of region .
(c) The region is rotated radians about the x-axis to form a solid of revolution. Find the volume of the solid formed, giving your answer in the form , where .
