Question

Please explain! Thank you!

A solid is generated by revolving the region bounded by the following about the y-axis. y = 1/6 x^2 y = 6 A hole, centered along the axis of revolution, is drilled through this solid so that one-fourth of the volume is removed. Find the diameter of the hole. Consider the graph of y^2 = x(4 - x)^2 (see figure). Find the volumes of the solids that are generated when the loop of this graph is revolved about each of the following (a) the x-axis (b) the y-axis (c) the line x = 4

Explanation / Answer

6)

given y=(1/6)x2,y=6

when curves intersect ,

(1/6)x2=6

=>x=6

y axis is x=0

for volume of solid about y axis,using shell method:

height of shell =6-(1/6)x2

radius of shell =x

volume,V=[0 to 6]2x(6-(1/6)x2) dx

volume,V=[0 to 6](/3)(36x-x3) dx

volume,V=[0 to 6](/3)(18x2-(1/4)x4)

volume,V=(/3)(18*62-(1/4)64) -(/3)(18*02-(1/4)04)

volume,V=(/3)(324) -0

volume,V=108

volume of the cylindrical hole =V/4

volume of the cylindrical hole =27

let radius of hole = r ,0<r<6

volume of the cylindrical hole =[0 to r]2x(6-(1/6)x2) dx

=>[0 to r]2x(6-(1/6)x2) dx =27

=>(/3)(18*r2-(1/4)r4) -(/3)(18*02-(1/4)04) =27

=>(/3)(18*r2-(1/4)r4) -0 =27

=>(18*r2-(1/4)r4) =81

=>(72r2-r4) =324

=>(r4-72r2) =-324

=>(r4-72r2)+362 =-324+362

=>(r2-36)2  =972

=>(r2-36) =-183 , (r2-36) =183

=>r2 =36-183 , r2 =36+183=> r>6

=>r2 =36-183

=>r =2.196152422706632

diameter of hole =2r

diameter of hole =2*2.196152422706632

diameter of hole =4.392
