MATH 118 2022-2 Recitation Problems - Week 3

(1) Calculate the volume of the following solids:

(a) S is the solid obtained by revolving the region bounded by y = x − x2 and the x-axis
about the y-axis
√
(b) S is the solid obtained by revolving the region bounded by x-axis and y = cos x for
x ∈ [0, π/2] about the x-axis
(c) S is the solid obtained by revolving the region bounded by y = 1/x, x = 1, x = 2 and
y = 0 about the line x = 3.
(2) Express the volume of the following solids by using both slicing (disk) method and cylindrical
shell method:
(a) S is the solid obtained by rotating the region enclosed by f (x) = 4 − x2 and g(x) = 2 + x
about the x-axis.
(b) S is the solid obtained by rotating the finite plane region bounded by the curves y = 2 cos x,
y = cos x, x = 0 and x = −π/2 about the line x = π/2
(3) Calculate the volume of the solid whose base is the circular disk given by x2 + y 2 ≤ 4 and
whose cross sections perpendicular to the x-axis are equilateral triangles.
