Examples for
Surfaces & Solids of Revolution
Surfaces of revolution and solids of revolution are some of the primary applications of integration. A two-dimensional curve can be rotated about an axis to form a solid, surface or shell. Use Wolfram|Alpha to accurately compute the volume or area of these solids. Examples of the methods used are the disk, washer and cylinder method.
Surfaces of Revolution
Find the surface area of a plane curve rotated about an axis.
Compute properties of a surface of revolution:
Solids of Revolution
Calculate the volume enclosed by a curve rotated around an axis of revolution.
