Volumes of Solids of Revolution - Integration
I hope this in the correct section, admin please move it if its not (Bandit)

Determine the volume generated when the given plane figure is rotated about the y axis

$x^2 - y^2 = 16$

$y=0$ $x=8$

I'm having a problem with the integration part of it (Headbang)

By definition: $V = \pi \int_{y = 0}^{y = 8} x^2 \, dy$.

Substitute $x^2 = 16 + y^2$ into the integral. I don't see where the trouble can be ....?

Maybe do you mean this $V = \pi \int\limits_0^{4\sqrt 3 } {\left( {64 - \left( {16 + {y^2}} \right)} \right)dy}$ ??
