Tutorial Week 5 PDF

This tutorial sheet provides 7 practice problems for calculating volumes of solids generated by revolving regions about axes using different methods like cylindrical shells. The problems include finding the volume of solids generated by revolving regions between curves like y=x3 and y=0 about the x-axis and y-axis, using cylindrical shells to revolve regions between curves like y=x3 and y=1 about lines, showing the volume of a sphere is 4/3πr3 by revolving a semicircle, finding the volume of a funnel by revolving the curve y=1/x, and finding the volume of a solid revolved above the x-axis and below an ellipse.
