Overview
01:13Problem Solving: Volume
The volume of a fuel tank mounted on the wing of a jet aircraft can be modeled using the concept of solids of revolution. In this case, the tank is formed by rotating a two-dimensional region, defined by a mathematical function, about the x-axis. The region extends along the axis from zero to two meters, and the resulting three-dimensional shape is symmetric about the axis of rotation. Because the boundary curve lies directly against the axis, the disk method is an appropriate technique for...
