Applications of Integration Volumes of Revolution Many thanks to http://mathdemos.gcsu.edu/shellmethod/gallery/gallery.html
Take this ordinary line Revolve this line around the x axis 2 5 We form a cylinder of volume
We could find the volume by finding the volume of small disc sections 2 5
If we stack all these slices… We can sum all the volumes to get the total volume
To find the volume of a cucumber… we could slice the cucumber into discs and find the volume of each disc.
The volume of one section: Volume of one slice =
We could model the cucumber with a mathematical curve and revolve this curve around the x axis… 25 -5 Each slice would have a thickness dx and height y.
The volume of one section: r = y value h = dx Volume of one slice =
Volume of cucumber… Area of 1 slice Thickness of slice
Take this function… and revolve it around the x axis
We can slice it up, find the volume of each disc and sum the discs to find the volume….. Volume of one slice= Radius = y Area = Thickness of slice = dx
Region bounded between y = 1, x = 0, y = 1 x = 0
Area of cross section.. f(x) g(x)
