The shaded region R is bounded by the x-axis, the line with equation x=1, the curve with equation y=1+x and the y-axis, as shown in Figure 1. The unit of length on both of the axes is 1m.
The region R is rotated through 2π radians about the x-axis to form a solid of revolution which is used to model a uniform solid S.
Show, using the model and algebraic integration, that
(a) the volume of S is 617πm3
(3)
(b) the centre of mass of S is 8549m from O.

题目中文翻译
如图 1 所示,阴影区域 R 由 x 轴、直线 x=1、曲线 y=1+x 及 y 轴围成。两个坐标轴上的长度单位均为 1m。
将区域 R 绕 x 轴旋转 2π 弧度,形成一个旋转体,用来模拟均匀立体 S。
利用此模型及代数积分证明
(a) S 的体积为 617πm3;
(3)
(b) S 的质心到 O 的距离为 8549m。

A cross-section perpendicular to the x-axis has radius y=1+x. Its area is
πy2=π(1+x)2=π(1+2x1/2+x).
The solid extends from x=0 to x=1. Hence its volume is
