Volume of solid revolution against a line

36 Views Asked by At

If an Area is bounded by two curves $y=\sqrt{x}$ and $y=\frac{x}{2}$, and it is revolved wrt to the line $x=-1$, then the Volume can be calculated using Ring method as this way? : $$ V = \pi \int_{0}^{2} (2y+1)^{2} - (y^{2}+1)^{2} dy $$ By inverting the two bounding curves first. The key is knowing the radius and the orientation of the Riemann rectangles, is this correct..?

Yes it is correct, as an alternative by shell method

$$V = 2\pi \int_{0}^{4} (x+1)(\sqrt x-x/2) dx=2\pi\left[\frac25x^{\frac52}-\frac{x^3}3+\frac23x^{\frac32}-\frac{x^2}4\right]_0^4=\frac{104\pi}5$$
