Question 1
A solid’s base is bounded by the circle with equation

x2 + y2 = 9 .

Determine the volume of the solid, given that every vertical cross-section of the solid,
which is perpendicular to the x axis, is a square.

Question 2
A solid’s base is bounded by the circle with equation

x2 + y 2 = 1 .

Every vertical cross-section of the solid, perpendicular to the x axis, is a right angled
isosceles triangle, with one of its non hypotenuse sides on the base of the solid.

Determine the volume of the solid.

Question 3
A solid’s base is bounded by the right angled triangle in the x-y plane whose vertices
have coordinates ( 0,0 ) , (1,0 ) and ( 0, 4 ) .

Every vertical cross-section of the solid, perpendicular to the y axis, is a semicircle


with its diameter lying on the base of the solid.

Use calculus to determine the volume of the above described solid.

Question 4
The finite region R is bounded by the curve with equation

y = x2 − 1 ,

and the straight line with equation

y = x +1

A solid’s base is bounded by R and every vertical cross-section of the solid,


perpendicular to the x axis, is a square with one of sides on the base of the solid.

Determine the volume of the solid.
