Solids of Rev. Practice

The document provides 12 practice problems for calculating the volume of solids of revolution using two different methods - the method of disks/washers and the method of cylindrical shells. It gives the set up and bounding curves for each problem and indicates which axis to rotate around. Answers are provided for problems 1 through 8 and 10 through 12. Problems 3 and 9 are only to be set up. Additional information is provided for setting up problems involving the integral from 0 to 1 of (2-x^2)^(1/2) dx.

Solids of Revolution Practice Problems

Find the volume of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by
the given curves about the given axis. Use the method of slicing
(disks/washers). Sketch the region and a typical disk or washer.

1. y = x2 – 2x, y = 8; about the line y = 8

2. y = x2, x = 1, y = 0; about the line y = 1

3. y = x2, x2 + y2 = 2; about the line y = –2 [Set this up only.]

4. y = x2, x = 1, y = 0; about the line x = 1

1
5. y = x , x = –2, x = –1, about the line x = –1

6. y = x2, y = x; about the line x = –2

Use the method of cylindrical shells to find the volume generated by


rotating the region bounded by the given curves about the axis
indicated. Sketch the region and a typical shell.

7. y = x2, x = 1, y = 0; about the line y = 1

8. y = x2, x = 1, y = 0; about the line y = –1

9. y = x2, x2 + y2 = 2; about the line y = –2 [Set this up only.]

10. y = x2, x = 1, y = 0; about the line x = 1

1
11. y = x , x = –2, x = –1, about the line x = –1

12. y = x2, y = x; about the line x = –2

If you have some strange desire to try and work out problems #3 and # 9, you may
make use of the fact that:
⌠ 2 x 2 ⎛ x ⎞
⌡ 2 – x dx = 2 2 – x + arcsin⎜ ⎟ + C
⎝ 2⎠
