MTH101 Solution: Practice Questions

Lecture No. 35 to 37

Question 1: Use cylindrical shells to find the volume of the solid generated when the region
=
‘R’ in the first quadrant enclosed between y 4=
x and y x 3 is revolved about the y-axis.
Solution:

To find the limit of integration, we will find the point of intersection between two curves.
=
Equating y 4=
x and y x 3 , we get
x 3 = 4 x,
⇒ x3 − 4 x =
0,
⇒ x( x 2 − 4) = 0,
⇒x= 0, x = ± 2.
Since our region R is in first quadrant so we ignore x = − 2. Hence limit of integration is
=x 0= to x 2.
