Volume of Revolution

Integration extends to the third dimension with the means to compute the volumes of shapes obtained by revolving regions around an axis, such as spheres, toroids, and paraboloids.

Volume of Revolution - Disc Method

         

Let \(V\) be the volume of the solid obtained by revolving the curve \( y = x^2 \) from \( x = 2\) to \(3\) about the \(x\)-axis. What is \(10 V?\)
