SURFACE AREA OF A SOLID OF REVOLUTION
31.1 If the region under a curve y—f(x), above the x- axis, and between x = a and x = b, is revolved about
the *-axis, state a formula for the surface area S of the resulting solid.
[For revolution about the y-axis, change the factor y to x in either integrand.]
31.2 Find the surface area of a sphere of radius r.
Revolve the upper semicircle y= about the jc-axis. Since x~ + y2 = r\ 2x+2yy' = Q,
y' = -x/y, (y'Y = x*ly\ 1 + (y') * = 1 + x'ly = (y- + x~)ly' = rly\ Hence, the surface area S=
In Problems 31.3-31.13, find the surface area generated when the given arc is revolved about the given axis.
31.3 y = x2, 0 < x < j; about the Jt-axis.
y' = 2x. Hence, the surface area Let x = i tan 0, dx = | sec2 0 d6.
So
we get (sec 5 0-sec 3 e)de. By the
reduction formula of Problem 29.39, By Problem 29.40,
Thus we get

31.4 The same arc as in Problem 31.3, but about the y-axis.
Use Since So

Then
31.9 1<A:<2; about the y-axis.
Use Then
So
31.10 y2 = l2x, 0 < x < 3 ; about the *-axis.
Now, 2vy' = 12, 4y 2 (y') 2 = 144,
Hence,
31.11 y* + 4x = 2\ny, 0 < y < 3 ; about the ;t-axis.
We have
Thus,
31.12 about the y-axis.
Now,
So In In In

As is shown in Fig. 31-1, the cone is obtained by revolving about the *-axis the region in the first quadrant
