The diagram shows the curve CC with equation y=2sin⁡−1xy = 2\sin^{-1}x and the line LL with equation y=8π3x−πy = \frac{8\pi}{3}x - \pi. CC and LL intersect at the point where x=12x = \frac{1}{2}. The region SS is defined by y≤2sin⁡−1xy \le 2\sin^{-1}x, y≥8π3x−πy \ge \frac{8\pi}{3}x - \pi and x≥0x \ge 0. Find the exact volume of the solid obtained when SS is rotated through 2π2\pi radians about the yy-axis.

1. Determine the $y$-coordinates of the intersection points and the intercepts.

When x=12x = \frac{1}{2},
y=2sin⁡−1(12)=2(π6)=π3y = 2\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) = 2\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right) = \frac{\pi}{3}
For curve CC, when x=0x = 0, y=2sin⁡−1(0)=0y = 2\sin^{-1}(0) = 0.
For line LL, when x=0x = 0, y=−πy = -\pi.

2. Express $x$ in terms of $y$ for both $C$ and $L$ to prepare for integration with respect to $y$.

For curve CC:
y=2sin⁡−1x  ⟹  sin⁡−1x=y2  ⟹  x=sin⁡(y2)y = 2\sin^{-1}x \implies \sin^{-1}x = \frac{y}{2} \implies x = \sin\left(\frac{y}{2}\right)
For line LL:
y=8π3x−π  ⟹  x=38π(y+π)y = \frac{8\pi}{3}x - \pi \implies x = \frac{3}{8\pi}(y + \pi)

3. Set up the integral for the volume generated by rotating the region about the $y$-axis.

The region is bounded by LL on the right, and by CC (for y≥0y \ge 0) and the yy-axis (for y<0y < 0) on the left.
The volume can be found by calculating the volume of the solid cone generated by LL and subtracting the solid volume generated by CC:
V=π∫−ππ3[38π(y+π)]2dy−π∫0π3sin⁡2(y2)dyV = \pi \int_{-\pi}^{\frac{\pi}{3}} \left[ \frac{3}{8\pi}(y + \pi) \right]^2 \text{d}y - \pi \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{3}} \sin^2\left(\frac{y}{2}\right) \text{d}y

4. Calculate the volume generated by rotating the line $L$ (which forms a cone).

V1=π∫−ππ3964π2(y+π)2dyV_1 = \pi \int_{-\pi}^{\frac{\pi}{3}} \frac{9}{64\pi^2}(y + \pi)^2 \text{d}y
=964π[(y+π)33]−ππ3= \frac{9}{64\pi} \left[ \frac{(y + \pi)^3}{3} \right]_{-\pi}^{\frac{\pi}{3}}
=364π(4π3)3=364π(64π327)=π29= \frac{3}{64\pi} \left( \frac{4\pi}{3} \right)^3 = \frac{3}{64\pi} \left( \frac{64\pi^3}{27} \right) = \frac{\pi^2}{9}
(Alternatively, using the cone formula: V1=13πr2h=13π(12)2(π3−(−π))=π29V_1 = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h = \frac{1}{3}\pi\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2\left(\frac{\pi}{3} - (-\pi)\right) = \frac{\pi^2}{9})

5. Calculate the volume generated by rotating the curve $C$, using the double angle formula.

V2=π∫0π3sin⁡2(y2)dyV_2 = \pi \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{3}} \sin^2\left(\frac{y}{2}\right) \text{d}y
Using the identity sin⁡2(y2)=12(1−cos⁡y)\sin^2\left(\frac{y}{2}\right) = \frac{1}{2}(1 - \cos y):
V2=π∫0π312(1−cos⁡y)dyV_2 = \pi \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{3}} \frac{1}{2}(1 - \cos y) \text{d}y
=π2[y−sin⁡y]0π3= \frac{\pi}{2} \left[ y - \sin y \right]_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{3}}
=π2(π3−sin⁡π3)= \frac{\pi}{2} \left( \frac{\pi}{3} - \sin\frac{\pi}{3} \right)
=π2(π3−32)=π26−3π4= \frac{\pi}{2} \left( \frac{\pi}{3} - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \right) = \frac{\pi^2}{6} - \frac{\sqrt{3}\pi}{4}

6. Subtract the volumes to find the exact final volume.

V=V1−V2=π29−(π26−3π4)V = V_1 - V_2 = \frac{\pi^2}{9} - \left( \frac{\pi^2}{6} - \frac{\sqrt{3}\pi}{4} \right)
=2π218−3π218+3π4= \frac{2\pi^2}{18} - \frac{3\pi^2}{18} + \frac{\sqrt{3}\pi}{4}
=3π4−π218= \frac{\sqrt{3}\pi}{4} - \frac{\pi^2}{18}

Answer

3π4−π218\frac{\sqrt{3}\pi}{4} - \frac{\pi^2}{18}
