To find the volume of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by \( g(y) = 3\sqrt{y} \) and the y-axis, for \( 0 \leq y \leq 5 \), about the x-axis using the method of cylindrical shells, we proceed as follows:

### Cylindrical Shell Method:
The formula for the volume using cylindrical shells when rotating about the x-axis is:

\[
V = \int_{a}^{b} 2\pi y \cdot \text{(radius)} \cdot \text{(height)} \, dy
\]

Here:
- \( a = 0 \) and \( b = 5 \) (the limits of integration)
- The radius of each shell is \( y \), as it is measured from the x-axis.
- The height of each shell is the distance from the y-axis to the curve \( g(y) = 3\sqrt{y} \), which is simply \( 3\sqrt{y} \).

Thus, the volume integral becomes:

\[
V = \int_{0}^{5} 2\pi y \cdot (3\sqrt{y}) \, dy
\]

Simplifying the integrand:

\[
V = 2\pi \int_{0}^{5} 3y\sqrt{y} \, dy = 6\pi \int_{0}^{5} y^{3/2} \, dy
\]

Now, let's compute this integral:

\[
\int y^{3/2} \, dy = \frac{2}{5} y^{5/2}
\]

Evaluating from \( 0 \) to \( 5 \):

\[
V = 6\pi \left[\frac{2}{5} y^{5/2}\right]_{0}^{5} = 6\pi \left[\frac{2}{5} (5)^{5/2} - \frac{2}{5} (0)^{5/2}\right]
\]

\[
V = 6\pi \cdot \frac{2}{5} \cdot (5^{5/2}) = \frac{12\pi}{5} \cdot 5^{5/2}
\]

Now, let's compute the value of \( 5^{5/2} \) and the volume \( V \).The volume of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by \( g(y) = 3\sqrt{y} \) and the y-axis about the x-axis is approximately \( 421.49 \) cubic units.

2. Can cylindrical shells be used for rotation about the y-axis?
3. What would happen if the limits of integration changed to a different range for \( y \)?
4. How would the problem change if we rotated the region about a different axis, like \( y = 2 \)?

**Tip:** When setting up integrals for cylindrical shells, always double-check that you correctly identify the radius and height of each shell to ensure accurate results.
