APPLICATIONS OF INTEGRATION 6.2 Volumes In this section, we will learn about: Using integration to find out the volume of a solid.

3 In trying to find the volume of a solid,
VOLUMES In trying to find the volume of a solid, we face the same type of problem as in finding areas.

4 We have an intuitive idea of what volume means.
VOLUMES We have an intuitive idea of what volume means. However, we must make this idea precise by using calculus to give an exact definition of volume.

5 We start with a simple type of solid
VOLUMES We start with a simple type of solid called a cylinder or, more precisely, a right cylinder.

6 As illustrated, a cylinder is bounded by
CYLINDERS As illustrated, a cylinder is bounded by a plane region B1, called the base, and a congruent region B2 in a parallel plane. The cylinder consists of all points on line segments perpendicular to the base and join B1 to B2.

7 If the area of the base is A and the height of
CYLINDERS If the area of the base is A and the height of the cylinder (the distance from B1 to B2) is h, then the volume V of the cylinder is defined as: V = Ah

8 In particular, if the base is a circle with
CYLINDERS In particular, if the base is a circle with radius r, then the cylinder is a circular cylinder with volume V = πr2h.

9 RECTANGULAR PARALLELEPIPEDS
If the base is a rectangle with length l and width w, then the cylinder is a rectangular box (also called a rectangular parallelepiped) with volume V = lwh.

10 For a solid S that isn’t a cylinder, we first
IRREGULAR SOLIDS For a solid S that isn’t a cylinder, we first ‘cut’ S into pieces and approximate each piece by a cylinder. We estimate the volume of S by adding the volumes of the cylinders. We arrive at the exact volume of S through a limiting process in which the number of pieces becomes large.

11 We start by intersecting S with a plane
IRREGULAR SOLIDS We start by intersecting S with a plane and obtaining a plane region that is called a cross-section of S.

12 Let A(x) be the area of the cross-section of S
IRREGULAR SOLIDS Let A(x) be the area of the cross-section of S in a plane Px perpendicular to the x-axis and passing through the point x, where a ≤ x ≤ b. Think of slicing S with a knife through x and computing the area of this slice.

13 The cross-sectional area A(x) will vary as x increases from a to b.
IRREGULAR SOLIDS The cross-sectional area A(x) will vary as x increases from a to b.

14 We divide S into n ‘slabs’ of equal width ∆x
IRREGULAR SOLIDS We divide S into n ‘slabs’ of equal width ∆x using the planes Px1, Px2, to slice the solid. Think of slicing a loaf of bread.

15 If we choose sample points xi* in [xi - 1, xi], we
IRREGULAR SOLIDS If we choose sample points xi* in [xi - 1, xi], we can approximate the i th slab Si (the part of S that lies between the planes and ) by a cylinder with base area A(xi*) and ‘height’ ∆x.

16 The volume of this cylinder is A(xi*).
IRREGULAR SOLIDS The volume of this cylinder is A(xi*). So, an approximation to our intuitive conception of the volume of the i th slab Si is:

17 Adding the volumes of these slabs, we get an
IRREGULAR SOLIDS Adding the volumes of these slabs, we get an approximation to the total volume (that is, what we think of intuitively as the volume): This approximation appears to become better and better as n → ∞. Think of the slices as becoming thinner and thinner.

18 Therefore, we define the volume as the limit of these sums as n → ∞).
IRREGULAR SOLIDS Therefore, we define the volume as the limit of these sums as n → ∞). However, we recognize the limit of Riemann sums as a definite integral and so we have the following definition.

19 Let S be a solid that lies between x = a and x = b.
DEFINITION OF VOLUME Let S be a solid that lies between x = a and x = b. If the cross-sectional area of S in the plane Px, through x and perpendicular to the x-axis, is A(x), where A is a continuous function, then the volume of S is:

20 When we use the volume formula , it is important to remember
VOLUMES When we use the volume formula , it is important to remember that A(x) is the area of a moving cross-section obtained by slicing through x perpendicular to the x-axis.

21 Notice that, for a cylinder, the cross-sectional
VOLUMES Notice that, for a cylinder, the cross-sectional area is constant: A(x) = A for all x. So, our definition of volume gives: This agrees with the formula V = Ah.

22 Show that the volume of a sphere of radius r is
SPHERES Example 1 Show that the volume of a sphere of radius r is

23 If we place the sphere so that its center is
Example 1 If we place the sphere so that its center is at the origin, then the plane Px intersects the sphere in a circle whose radius, from the Pythagorean Theorem, is:

24 So, the cross-sectional area is:
SPHERES Example 1 So, the cross-sectional area is:

25 Using the definition of volume with a = -r and b = r, we have:
SPHERES Example 1 Using the definition of volume with a = -r and b = r, we have: (The integrand is even.)

26 The figure illustrates the definition of volume
SPHERES The figure illustrates the definition of volume when the solid is a sphere with radius r = 1. From the example, we know that the volume of the sphere is The slabs are circular cylinders, or disks.

27 The three parts show the geometric interpretations of the Riemann sums
SPHERES The three parts show the geometric interpretations of the Riemann sums when n = 5, 10, and 20 if we choose the sample points xi* to be the midpoints .

28 Notice that as we increase the number
SPHERES Notice that as we increase the number of approximating cylinders, the corresponding Riemann sums become closer to the true volume.

34 As the region is rotated about the y-axis, it
VOLUMES Example 3 As the region is rotated about the y-axis, it makes sense to slice the solid perpendicular to the y-axis and thus to integrate with respect to y. Slicing at height y, we get a circular disk with radius x, where

35 So, the area of a cross-section through y is:
VOLUMES Example 3 So, the area of a cross-section through y is: The volume of the approximating cylinder is:

49 If the cross-section is a disk, we find
WAY 1 If the cross-section is a disk, we find the radius of the disk (in terms of x or y) and use: A = π(radius)2

50 If the cross-section is a washer, we first find
WAY 2 If the cross-section is a washer, we first find the inner radius rin and outer radius rout from a sketch. Then, we subtract the area of the inner disk from the area of the outer disk to obtain: A = π(outer radius)2 – π(outer radius)2
