    Volume of a solid of rotation, obtained rotating a function around x=2

    At first, I inverted the function(##f^{-1}(x)=g(x)##) and calculated the volume through the integral: $$V=\pi\int_{0}^{4}[4-(2-g(x))^2]\ dx$$ but then I questioned myself if the same result could have been obtained without inverting the function. To find such a strategy, I proceeded as follows...

    Calculating Volume & Work: V1, V2, W

    First i calculate n: 500000 g / 32 g/mol = 15625 mol Then I calculate V1: (100000 Pa * V1)/288.15 K = 15625 mol * 8.31 J/mol.k so V1 = 374.145 m^3 I calculate V2: 100000¨ Pa * (374.145 m^3)^1.3 = 300000 Pa * (V2)^1.3 So V2 = 160.703 m^3 W = ((100000 Pa * 374.145 m^3)-(300000 Pa * 160.703...

    Volume of a solid of revolution around the y-axis (def. integration)

    First, I calculated the inverse of ##y=e^x## since we're talking about y-axis rotations, which is of course ##x=lny##. Then, helping myself out with a drawing, I concluded that the total volume of the solid must've been: $$V=\pi\int_{0}^{1}1^2 \ dy \ +(\pi\int_{1}^{e}1^2 \ dy \ - \pi...

    Finding area from work, pressure and volume

    So I basically took the integral and ended up with W=PVf-A(Vf^3)/3-PVi+A(Vf^3)/3 so 65.7=72*5.3-A(5.3)^3/3-72(2.4)+A(2.4)^3/3 But when I solve for A I get the wrong answer of 3.179 when the answer is suppose to be 5.05. I've checked my calculation with an algebra calculator too...

    I tried integrating the 4-volume of a 4-hemisphere, that is, $$\int^{R}_{0} \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 dw$$ (along w-axis), since ##r## is proportional to ##w##, where ##r=\frac{w}{R} R##, ##r=w##, thus the integral becomes $$\int^{R}_{0} \frac{4}{3} \pi w^3 dw = \frac{\pi}{3} R^4$$ The volume of a 4-D...
