Find the volume of the solid generated when the region enclosed by y=√x,x=9, and y=0 is revolved about the line x=9, and y=0 is revolved about the line x=9.

Consider the hatched area.

A volume of revolution (thin disc) can be generated by rotating the hatched area about the line x = 9.

The elemental volume of this disc would be

dV = pi.(9 - x)^2, dy

Integrating, to get the total volume,

V = pi * int[0 .. 3] (9 - x)^2 dy

substituting for x = y^2,

V = pi * int[0 .. 3] (9 - y^2)^2 dy

V = pi * int[0 .. 3] (81 - 18y^2 + y^4)^2 dy

V = pi * [81y - 6y^3 + (1/5)y^5] [ 0..3 ]

V = pi * {(243 - 162 + 48.6) - ( 0 )}

V = 129.6pi
