Use a result of Pappus to find (i) the volume of a cylinder with height \(h\) and radius \(a\) (ii) the volume of a cone with height \(h\) and base radius \(a .\)
Let \(a \in \mathbb{R}\) with \(a>0\). The base of a certain solid body is the disk given by \(x^{2}+y^{2} \leq a^{2} .\) Each of its slices by a plane perpendicular to the \(x\) -axis is an isosceles right-angled triangular region with one of the two equal sides in the base of the solid body. Find the volume of the solid body.
Find the volume of the solid generated by revolving the region bounded by the curves given by \(y=\sqrt{x}, y=2\), and \(x=0\) about the \(x\) -axis by both the Washer Method and the Shell Method. If the region is revolved about the line given by \(x=4\), what is the volume of the solid so generated?
Consider the function \(f:[0,1] \rightarrow \mathbb{R}\) defined by \(f(x)=x e^{-x^{2}}\). Find \(T_{n}(f)\) and \(S_{n}(f)\) with \(n=2\) and \(n=4\). Obtain the corresponding error estimates, and compare them with the actual errors $$ \int_{0}^{1} f(x) d x-T_{n}(f) \quad \text { and } \quad \int_{0}^{1} f(x) d x-S_{n}(f) . $$
For each of the following curves, find the arc length as well as the area of the surface generated by revolving the curve about the line given by \(y=-1\) (i) \(y=\frac{x^{3}}{3}+\frac{1}{4 x}, 1 \leq x \leq 3\), (ii) \(x=\frac{3}{5} y^{5 / 3}-\frac{3}{4} y^{1 / 3}, 1 \leq y \leq 8\).
