The region $R\,$ is bounded by the path $C\,$ from $Q\,$ to $P$ , the line $l\,$ from $P\,$ to the $x$ -axis, and the $x$ -axis between $Q\,$ and the line intercept.

Using algebraic integration, find the exact volume of the solid of revolution formed when the region $R\,$ is rotated through $2\pi\,$ radians about the $x$ -axis.

Question 1

A robotic welding arm follows a path $C\,$ in a horizontal workspace, defined by the parametric equations

\frac{1}{2}t^2 + 2, \quad y = 2t - \frac{8}{t}, \quad t > 0

where $x\,$ and $y\,$ are coordinates in centimetres. The path $C\,$ intersects the $x$ -axis at the point $Q$ .

Determine the $x$ -coordinate of $Q$ .

A safety barrier is represented by the line $l$ , which is the normal to the path $C\,$ at the point $P$ . Given that $t = 4$ at $P$ :

Write down the coordinates of $P$ .

The region $R\,$ is bounded by the path $C\,$ from $Q\,$ to $P$ , the line $l\,$ from $P\,$ to the $x$ -axis, and the $x$ -axis between $Q\,$ and the line intercept.

Using algebraic integration, find the exact volume of the solid of revolution formed when the region $R\,$ is rotated through $2\pi\,$ radians about the $x$ -axis.
