TRANSCRIPT
Some volume problems are very difficult to handle by the methods of Section 6.2. Forinstance, let’s consider the problem of finding the volume of the solid obtained by rotatingabout the -axis the region bounded by and . (See Figure 1.) If we sliceperpendicular to the y-axis, we get a washer. But to compute the inner radius and the outerradius of the washer, we would have to solve the cubic equation for x interms of y; that’s not easy.
Fortunately, there is a method, called the method of cylindrical shells, that is easier touse in such a case. Figure 2 shows a cylindrical shell with inner radius , outer radius ,and height . Its volume is calculated by subtracting the volume of the inner cylinderfrom the volume of the outer cylinder:
If we let (the thickness of the shell) and (the average radiusof the shell), then this formula for the volume of a cylindrical shell becomes
and it can be remembered as
Now let be the solid obtained by rotating about the -axis the region bounded by[where ], and , where . (See Figure 3.)
We divide the interval into n subintervals of equal width and let bethe midpoint of the ith subinterval. If the rectangle with base and height isrotated about the y-axis, then the result is a cylindrical shell with average radius , height
, and thickness (see Figure 4), so by Formula 1 its volume is
Therefore, an approximation to the volume of is given by the sum of the volumes ofthese shells:

Volumes by Cylindrical Shells
This approximation appears to become better as . But, from the definition of an inte-gral, we know that
Thus, the following appears plausible:
The volume of the solid in Figure 3, obtained by rotating about the y-axis theregion under the curve from a to b, is
The argument using cylindrical shells makes Formula 2 seem reasonable, but later wewill be able to prove it. (See Exercise 47.)
The best way to remember Formula 2 is to think of a typical shell, cut and flattened asin Figure 5, with radius x, circumference , height , and thickness or :
This type of reasoning will be helpful in other situations, such as when we rotate aboutlines other than the y-axis.
EXAMPLE 1 Find the volume of the solid obtained by rotating about the -axis the regionbounded by and .
SOLUTION From the sketch in Figure 6 we see that a typical shell has radius x, circumfer-ence , and height . So, by the shell method, the volume is
It can be verified that the shell method gives the same answer as slicing.

■ ■ Figure 7 shows a computer-generated picture of the solid whose volume we computedin Example 1.
NOTE ■■ Comparing the solution of Example 1 with the remarks at the beginning of thissection, we see that the method of cylindrical shells is much easier than the washer methodfor this problem. We did not have to find the coordinates of the local maximum and we didnot have to solve the equation of the curve for in terms of . However, in other examplesthe methods of the preceding section may be easier.
EXAMPLE 2 Find the volume of the solid obtained by rotating about the -axis the regionbetween and .
SOLUTION The region and a typical shell are shown in Figure 8. We see that the shell hasradius x, circumference , and height . So the volume is
As the following example shows, the shell method works just as well if we rotate aboutthe x-axis. We simply have to draw a diagram to identify the radius and height of a shell.
EXAMPLE 3 Use cylindrical shells to find the volume of the solid obtained by rotatingabout the -axis the region under the curve from 0 to 1.
SOLUTION This problem was solved using disks in Example 2 in Section 6.2. To use shellswe relabel the curve (in the figure in that example) as in Figure 9. Forrotation about the x-axis we see that a typical shell has radius y, circumference , andheight . So the volume is
In this problem the disk method was simpler.
EXAMPLE 4 Find the volume of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded byand about the line .
SOLUTION Figure 10 shows the region and a cylindrical shell formed by rotation about theline . It has radius , circumference , and height .

1. If we were to use the “washer” method, we would first have
to locate the local maximum point (a, b) of y = x(x− 1)2using the methods of Chapter 4. Then we would have to
solve the equation y = x(x− 1)2 for x in terms of y to
obtain the functions x = g1(y) and x = g2(y) shown in the
first figure. This step would be difficult because it involves
the cubic formula. Finally we would find the volume using
V = πR b0
©[g1(y)]
2 − [g2(y)]2ªdy.
Using shells, we find that a typical approximating shell has radius x, so its circumference is 2πx. Its height is y, that
is, x(x− 1)2. So the total volume is

cπ[g(y)]2 dy. Let y = f(x), which
gives dy = f 0(x) dx and g(y) = x, so that V = πb2d − πa2c− πR bax2f 0(x) dx. Now integrate
by parts with u = x2, and dv = f 0(x) dx ⇒ du = 2x dx, v = f(x), andR bax2 f 0(x) dx =
