6.1:VOLUMES BY SLICING AND
ROTATION ABOUT AN AXIS
 We define volumes of solids whose cross-sections
are plane regions. A cross-section of a solid S is the
plane region formed by intersecting S with a plane
(Figure 6.1).
 If the cylindrical solid has a known base area A and
height h, then the volume of the cylindrical solid is
Volume = area * height = A . h.
 This equation forms the basis for defining the
volumes of many solids that are not cylindrical by
the method of slicing.

6.1:SOLIDS OF REVOLUTION:
THE DISK METHOD
 The solid generated by rotating a plane region
about an axis in its plane is called a solid of
revolution and the disk method because a cross-
section is a circular disk of radius R(x).
 The area is then A(x)=Pi(radius)^2

WASHER METHOD
 If the region we revolve to generate a solid does not
border on or cross the axis of revolution, the solid
has a hole in it (Figure 6.13).

6.4:MOMENTS AND CENTERS OF MASS

(b) The planets, asteroids, and comets of our solar system

revolve about their collective center of mass. (It lies inside
the sun.)
6.4:MOMENTS AND CENTERS OF MASS

In physics, the center of mass of a distribution of mass in space is the unique

point where the weighted relative position of the distributed mass sums to zero
or the point where if a force is applied causes it to move in direction of force
without rotation. The distribution of mass is balanced around the center of
mass and the average of the weighted position coordinates of the distributed
mass defines its coordinates.
