`y = x^3, y = 8, x = 0` Use the method of cylindrical shells to find the volume of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by the...

The volume of the solid obtained by rotating about x-axis by using cylindrical shell method is


`V = int_a^b 2piyf(y) dy`


The given information is


The curves



`y = x^3 =gt x = y^(1/3) `


`y = 8` , `x = y = 0` and rotation is about y-axis



`therefore V = int_0^8 2piy[y^(1/3) - 0] dy `


          =`2pi int_0^8 y^(4/3) dy ` 


          = `2pi 3/7 y^(7/3)|_0^8 `


         =  `(6pi)/7 * 8^(7/3)`


         =  `(6pi)/7 * 2^7`


        = `(768pi)/7`


`therefore` The required volume is  `(768pi)/7`
