Writing Problem #3

Let f be a strictly increasing or decreasing function. Let R be the region in the first quadrant bounded by y=f(x), x=0 and y=b. Suppose R is revolved about the y-axis to create a solid of revolution. The solid is then filled with a material (e.g., water, dirt, etc.) with density δ. Explain how to determine the work to move all of the material to the top of the solid.

Compare this to the process by which you would calculate the volume of the solid.

Determine the ratio of the work required to empty a cone to the work required to empty the same cone, inverted.

Do the same with a finite piece (including the vertex) of a solid formed by revolving a parabola around its axis of symmetry.
