Integration/First Applications of Integration/Volumes by Cylindrical Shells by M. Seppälä Cylindrical Shells A Cylindrical Shell is obtained by removing, from a solid cylinder, a cylinder of smaller radius as indicted in the picture. h rR r Volume of the Cylindrical Shell = π R 2 h - π r 2 h = π h (R 2 - r 2 ) = π h (R - r)(R + r).

Integration/First Applications of Integration/Volumes by Cylindrical Shells by M. Seppälä Cylindrical Shells Formula The Volume of a Solid obtained by letting the domain bounded by the graph of a function f rotate about the vertical axis: Here we assume the (a,b) is either an interval in the positive real axis or in the negative real axis. I.e. we assume that 0 (a,b).
