Math Problem Statement
Set up, but do not evaluate, an integral for the volume of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by the given curves about the specified line. y = sin(x), y = 0, 0 β€ x β€ π; about y = β3
Solution
To set up the integral for the volume of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by , , and about the line , we will use the method of cylindrical shells or disk/washer method. Let's use the washer method here.
Step 1: Set up the washer method formula for rotation about a horizontal line.
When rotating about a horizontal line like , the volume is given by the integral: where:
- is the distance from the axis of rotation to the upper curve,
- is the distance from the axis of rotation to the lower curve.
Step 2: Determine and .
- The upper boundary curve is , and the lower boundary curve is .
- The axis of rotation is , which is below both curves.
For any in :
- The distance from the axis to the upper boundary is .
- The distance from the axis to the lower boundary is .
Step 3: Set up the volume integral.
The volume is thus given by: Simplifying the terms inside the integral:
Final setup:
The integral for the volume is: which simplifies to: This is the setup for the volume of the solid obtained by rotating the given region about the line .

Here are 5 related questions to expand this concept:
- How would the setup change if the region was rotated about the x-axis instead of ?
- What happens if the region is rotated about instead of ?
- Can we apply the shell method to this problem? How would that integral look?
- How would you handle the integral if the curve was instead of ?
- What if the region was bounded by and ?
Tip: When rotating around a line different from the axis, always adjust the radius to reflect the new distance from the curve to the line.
