To determine
To express:
V2 in terms of V1, k, and A
Answer
V2=V1+2πkA
Explanation
1) Concept:
i) Solid of Revolution:
Volume of solid after revolving a region around a line is given by
V=∫abA(x)dx or V=∫cdA(y)dy
In case of the disk method, radius is found in terms of x or y and use A=π·radius2
In case of the washer method, find the inner and outer radius and compute the area of washer by subtracting the area of inner disk from outer disk, use
A=π·outer radius2-π·inner radius2
ii) Area between curves:
The area A bounded by the curves y=f(x), y=g(x) and the lines x=a, x=b, where f and g are continuous and fx≥g(x) for all x in [a, b], is
A=∫ab[fx-g(x)]dx
2) Calculation:
Case 1:
According to the given condition, R is rotated about x axis to form a solid with volume V1 which forms the disk.
Now,
The area A bounded by the curves y=f(x), y=g(x) and the lines x=a, x=b, where f and g are continuous and fx≥g(x) for all x in [a, b], is
A=∫ab[fx-g(x)]dx ….(1)
If cross section is solid, find radius of the solid in terms of y or x and use
A=π·outer radius2-π·inner radius2
A(x)=πf(x)2-g(x)2
Therefore,
V1=∫abA(x)dx=∫abπf(x)2-g(x)2dx …..(2)
Case 2:
According to the given condition, R is rotated about the line y=-k to form a solid with volume V2 which forms the washer.
So,
V2=∫abA(x)dx
If cross section is a washer, find the inner and outer radius from the sketch and compute the area of washer by subtracting the area of the inner disk from outer disk.
A=π· outer radius2-π· inner radius2
Ay=πfx+k2-gx+k2
V2=∫abA(x)dx=∫abπfx+k2-gx+k2dx
V2=∫abπfx2+k2+2kfx-gx2+k2+2kgx dx
V2=∫abπf(x)2-g(x)2+2πk∫ab[fx-g(x)]dx
From (1) and (2),
Therefore,
V2=V1+2πkA
Conclusion:
Therefore,
V2=V1+2πkA
