6.2: Volumes Using Disks and Washers (Part 2)

Notice: The cross-section of the solid sliced

perpendicular to the y-axis is a circular disk
with radius x  3 y .

Ex #1: Find the volume of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by the given curves
about the specified line.

a) y  x 2 , x  0, y  9, 0  x  3 ; about the y-axis

Note: For a vertical axis of revolution we are looking for 𝑉 = ∫𝑎 𝐴(𝑦) 𝑑𝑦
