 d ) About the x − axis

e) region y = x2 , y = 0, x = 2, about the x − axis

√
f ) region y = 9 − x2 , y = 0, about the x − axis
g) Designing a plumb bob. Having been asked to design a brass plumb bob
that will weigh in the neighborhood of 190 g, you decide to shape it like the
solid of revolution shown here. Find the plumb bob’s volume. If you specify
a brass that weighs 8.5 g/cm3 , how much will the plumb bob weigh (to the
nearest gram)?

2. Volume. Evaluate the integral that gives the volume of the solid formed by revol-
ving the region about the x − axis
