@abhishek.exl can you solve this one? This is difficult for me

A good way to solve such questions is understand the geometry

when the parabola is rotated around x axis , each point on the parabola will rotate in a circle. Thus the radius of every point on the parabola will be given by
r= 2-x for rotation. (Think about it, the point of origin will go till 4,0 when rotated, and so are other points according to 2-x)

The height of every point during rotation would be 2y

It can be seen that when the rotation would happen each point will move like a cylinder in 3d, whose area will be 2pirh

V = Adx
Integral V = 2pi*(2-x)* 2ydx
Integral V = 4pi*(2-x)*_/8x dx
Integral V = 8_/2pi [2_/x - x^(3/2)]
V = 8_/2pi [2/3* x^(3/2) - 2/5* x^(5/2)]
adding limits of x from 0 to 2
V = 16pi [8/3 - 8/5]
V = 256pi/15


@abhishek.pgp17158 can you explain this a little more. Have one doubt
