Revolving about the x-axis: Revolving about the y-axis:
Example 1. Determine the volume of the solid obtained by
rotating the region bounded by
and the x-axis about the x-axis.

Solution
Example Determine the volume of the solid obtained by rotating the
portion of the region bounded by and that lies in the
first quadrant about the y-axis.

Solution
The inner radius in this case is the distance from the y-axis to the inner curve
while the outer radius is the distance from the y-axis to the outer curve.

Both of these are then x distances and so are given by the equations of the
curves as shown above.

The cross-sectional area is then,


Working from the bottom of the solid to the top we can see that the first
cross-section will occur at y =0 and the last cross-section will occur at y=2.
These will be the limits of integration.

The volume is then,


Exercise:
Find the volume of the solid generated by revolving the
region bounded by y = x 2 and the xaxis on [2,3]
about the xaxis.
Solution:
Exercise:
Find the volume if the area bounded by the curve
y=x3 +1 , the x -axis and the limits of x=0 and x=3 is
rotated around the x -axis.
Solution:
Volumes of Solids of Revolution
(Cylindrical Shells)
In the previous topic we started looking at finding volumes of solids of
revolution. In that section we took cross sections that were rings or disks,
found the cross-sectional area and then used the following formulas to find
the volume of the solid.

In the previous section we only used cross sections that were in the shape
of a disk or a ring. This however does not always need to be the case. We
can use any shape for the cross sections as long as it can be expanded or
contracted to completely cover the solid were looking at. This is a good
thing because as our first example will show us we cant always use
rings/disks.
So, the volume of the solid is
Exercise:
Centroid of a Plane Area

Example: Find the centroid of the area in the first quadrant


bounded by the parabola y2 = 4ax and its latus rectum.
Exercise:
The area in the first quadrant under the curve
y = 4 x2. Find the centroid of the area.
