Tatjana Slijepčević-Manger ; Faculty of Civil Engineering, University of Zagreb, Zagreb, Croatia

Abstract

In this paper we present classical methods (disk and shell integration) to compute the volume of a solid of revolution. We also give a method to compute the volume of a solid of revolution as a double integral. In the end we show how Guldin-Pappus’ theorem follows from the third method.

Keywords

volume; solid of revolution; disk method; shell method; double integral
