Homework Statement
A torus is formed by revolving the region bounded by the circle ##x^2+ y^2= 1## about the line x =2 Find the volume of this “doughnut-shaped” solid.
(Hint: The integral ##{\int_{-1}^1} \sqrt{1 -x^2} dx## represents the area of a semicircle.)
2. Homework Equations
$$Volume=2\pi\int_a^b p(y)h(y)dy$$
The Attempt at a Solution
[/B]
I know that h(y) or the width is ##\sqrt{1 -x^2}##
The radius or p(y) is (2-x).
However, when I plug that into the equation and integrate, I get 0 and I know that's wrong.
