Section 7-3 Volume using The Shell Method
The shell method is like the washer method only the rotation is about the y-axis. http://www.rkm.com.au/animations/animation-solid-revolution-2.html
If we take a vertical slice and revolve it about the y-axis we get cylinders. Then we add up the volume of all the cylinders
Sum of the cylindrical shells Volume = ∑circumference ∙ height ∙thickness
One Function: The volume of the solid obtained by revolving R about the y-axis using cylindrical shells is given by:
1. Find the volume of the solid obtained by revolving f(x) about the y-axis if
Two Functions: The volume of the solid of revolution of the region bounded by f(x) and g(x) is given by:
2. Find the volume of the revolution of the region bounded by the curves
3. Find the volume of the solid of revolution bounded by • rotated about the y-axis
