:Example
Find the volume of the solid
obtained by rotating the region
enclosed by the curves y=sin(x)
and y=0 about the y-axis . Find
the volume of the resulting
solid.

Disk Method Shell Method

The method of shells is fundamentally different from the method of disks.  The method of This demo was developed by Lila F. Roberts
disks involves slicing the solid perpendicular to the axis of revolution to obtain the disks.  College of Information & Mathematical Sciences

However, the method of shells fills the solid with cylindrical shells Morrow, GA 30260
