Parametric Integration
Volume of Revolution about the x-axis
In this tutorial I show you how to find the volume of revolution about the x-axis for a curve given in parametric form.
The example used is to find the volume of revolution when the area bounded by the curve and the lines x=0, x=3 and the x-axis is rotated 360o about that axis.
