VOLUMES BY SLICING
The idea in this method is to divide the solid into
thin slabs, approximate the volume of each slab,
add the approximations to form a Riemann sum,
and take the limit of the Riemann sums to
produce an integral for the volume.
If a right cylinder is generated by translating a
region of area A through a distance h, then h is
called the height of the cylinder, and the volume V
of the cylinder is defined to be :
V = A · h = [area of a cross section]×[height]
Let S be a solid bounded by two parallel planes
perpendicular to the x-axis at x = a and x = b. If, for each x
in [a,b], the cross-sectional area of S perpendicular to the
x-axis is A(x), then the volume of the solid is :
V = ʃab A(x) dx provided A(x) is integrable.
Similarly,
V = ʃab A(y) dy provided A(y) is integrable.
SOLIDS OF REVOLUTION
A solid of revolution is a solid that is generated by
revolving a plane region about a line that lies in
the same plane as the region; the line is called the
axis of revolution.
VOLUMES BY DISKS
In this method, the cross section of the solid
taken perpendicular to the x-axis at the point x is
a circular disk of radius f(x). The area of this
region is: A(x) = π[f(x)]2
Thus, by using the volume by slicing formula, the
volume of the solid is
V = ʃab π[f(x)]2 dx
Now, if the axis of rotation is y-axis, then
V = ʃcd π[u(y)]2 dy
VOLUMES BY WASHERS
In this method, the cross section of the solid
taken perpendicular to the x-axis at the point x is
the annular or “washer-shaped” region with inner
radius g(x) and outer radius f(x), its area is
A(x) = π[f(x)]2 − π[g(x)]2 = π([f(x)]2 − [g(x)]2
Thus, by using the volume by slicing formula, the
volume of the solid is
V = ʃab π([f(x)]2 − [g(x)]2 )dx
Now, if the axis of rotation is y-axis, then
V = ʃcd π([w(y)]2 − [v(y)]2 )dy
