The volume can be found using shells. The volume of a solid of revolution on the
interval [a,b] when using shells, can be expressed as
where r is the radius of rotation and hhh is the height of a typical shell.
To find the limits of integration, we must find the points of intersection of y = cos x
𝜋
and y = sin x. The two graphs intersect at 𝑥 = 4
𝜋
In this case r = x and h = cos x – sin x because cos x ≥ sin x on the interval [0, 4 ]
The volume of a solid of revolution on the interval [a,b], bounded by an outer radius, R,
and an inner radius, r, can be expressed as:
In this problem, the outer radius is R=2 and the inner radius 𝑟 = √𝑥. Infinitely many
washers will be generated between x=0 and x=4, and so the volume of the solid can be
expressed as:
