Volumes by cylindrical shells


√ √
1. The region enclosed by y = x + 1, y = 2x and y = 0 is revolved about the x axis
generating a solid. Obtain the volume of the solid by taking cross sections (a) parallel to
the x axis, and (b) perpendicular to the x axis. (Ans: π)

2. Use cylindrical shells to find the volume of the solid generated when the region enclosed
by the given curves is revolved about the y axis.

(b) y = 2x − 1, y = −2x + 3, x = 2 (Ans: 20π/3)

(c) y = cos(x2 ), x = 0, x = π/2, y = 0 (Ans: π/ 2)

3. The region enclosed by the given curves is revolved about the x axis. Use cylindrical
shells to find the volume of the resulting solid.

(a) x = 2y − 2y 2 , x = 0 (Ans: π/3)


(b) xy = 4, x + y = 5 (Ans: 9π)

4. Use cylindrical shells to find the volume of the solid that is generated when the region
enclosed by y = 1/x3 , x = 1, x = 2 and y = 0 is revolved about the line x = −1. (Ans:
7π/4)

5. The region in the first quadrant bounded by x = cos y, x = 0, y = 0 and y = π/3


is revolved about the line y = π/2. Find the volume of the resulting solid using the
cylindrical shell
√ method. (You require integration by parts to solve the integral obtained.)
