Question 15.8

Use Cavalieri’s principle to show that the volumes of two cylinders with the same base and height are equal (see Figure 15.10).

Question 15.9

Using Cavalieri’s principle, compute the volume of the structure shown in Figure 15.11; each cross section is a rectangle of length 5 and width 3.

Question 15.10

A lumberjack cuts out a wedge-shaped piece \(W\) of a cylindrical tree of radius \(r\) obtained by making two saw cuts to the tree’s center, one horizontally and one at an angle \(\theta\). Compute the volume of the wedge \(W\) using Cavalieri’s principle. (See Figure 15.12.)

Question 15.11

  • (a) Show that the volume of the solid of revolution shown in Figure 15.13 is \[ \pi \int_a^b \, [f(x)]^2\, {\it dx} . \]
  • (b) Show that the volume of the region obtained by rotating the region under the graph of the parabola \(y= -x^2+2x+3\), \(-1\leq x\leq 3\), about the \(x\) axis is \(512\pi/15\) [see Figure 15.13].
Figure 15.13: The solid of revolution (a) has volume \(\pi\int_a^b[f\hbox{(}x\hbox{)}]^2 {\it dx}\). Part (b) shows the region between the graph of \(y=-x^2+2x+3\) and the \(x\) axis rotated about the \(x\) axis.
