Disc method and Shell(cylinder) method of integration are the two different methods of finding volume of solid of a revolution, using rectangular coordination system the functions are defined in terms of x in the below problem.
Topic : Disc or Cylinder Method of Finding Volume of the Sphere.
Problem : Use the disc or shell method to find the volume of the solid generated by revolving the regions bounded by the graphs of the equations about the specified line y = 8.
y=x3 y=0, x=2
Solution :
Here the solid is rotated along x-axis
y = x3 => x = (y)1/3
or x = y1/3
when y = 8, x = (8)1/3 = (23)1/3 = 23*1/3 = 2
So a = 0, b = 2
Volume of a Solid by rotating about y = 8 is given by:
V = 2π0∫2(y)1/3 . y dy
= 2π0∫2(y)4/3 dy
= 2π[y7/3/(7/3)0]2
= 2π[(2)7/3/(7/3)- (0)7/3/(7/3)]
= 2π[((27)1/3/(7/3)]
= 2π 3√(128)/(7/3)
= 6.3√(128)π/7
= 4.32π
