Problem 14
Find the areas of the surfaces generated by revolving the curves in Exercises \(13-23\) about the indicated axes. If you have a grapher, you may want to graph these curves to see what they look like. $$y=\sqrt{x}, \quad 3 / 4 \leq x \leq 15 / 4 ; \quad x \text { -axis }$$
Problem 18
The region between the curve \(y=2 / x\) and the \(x\) -axis from \(x=1\) to \(x=4\) is revolved about the \(x\) -axis to generate a solid. a. Find the volume of the solid. b. Find the center of mass of a thin plate covering the region if the plate's density at the point \((x, y)\) is \(\delta(x)=\sqrt{x}\) c. Sketch the plate and show the center of mass in your sketch.
Problem 22
Use the shell method to find the volumes of the solids generated by revolving the regions bounded by the curves and lines about the \(x\) -axis. $$y=\sqrt{x}, \quad y=0, \quad y=2-x$$

Problem 27
On June 11, 2004, in a tennis match between Andy Roddick and Paradorn Srichaphan at the Stella Artois tournament in London, England, Roddick hit a serve measured at 153 mi / h. How much work was required by Andy to serve a 2 -oz tennis ball at that speed?
Problem 31
Is there a smooth (continuously differentiable) curve \(y=f(x)\) whose length over the interval \(0 \leq x \leq a\) is always \(\sqrt{2 a} ?\) Give reasons for your answer.
Problem 37

Problem 42
A Bundt cake, well known for having a ringed shape, is formed by revolving around the \(y\) -axis the region bounded by the graph of \(y=\sin \left(x^{2}-1\right)\) and the \(x\) -axis over the interval \(1 \leq x \leq\) \(\sqrt{1+\pi} .\) Find the volume of the cake.
