Volume:
The volume can be obtainedby rotating the triangulararea shownthrough n radians about they axis.
The area of the triangleis:

A = .!.(52)(6O)

Applying the theoremsof Pappus-Guldinus.we have

or V = 255 X 103 mm3 .....
V = nXA = n(52 mm)(156Omm2)
The surface area can be obtained by rotating the triangle shown through an angle of n radians about the y axis.
