Answer

$\dfrac{64 \pi}{5}$

Work Step by Step

Our aim is to compute the volume of the revolution of the curve about the y-axis by using the Washer method. Washer method for computing the volume of the revolution of the curve: Let us consider two functions $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ (both are continuous functions) with $f(x) \geq g(x) \geq 0$ on the interval $[m, n]$ . Then the volume of the solid can be obtained by rotating the region under the graph about the y-axis and can be expressed as: $\ Volume, V=\pi \int_m^n [f(y)^2-g(y)^2] \ dy $ $\bf{Calculations:}$ $V= \pi \int_0^8 [(2)^2-(y^{1/3})^2] \ dy$ or, $= \pi[4y-\dfrac{y^{5/3}}{5/3}]_0^8$ or, $=(4 \pi)\times 8- \dfrac{8^{5/3} \pi}{5/3}$ or, $=32 \pi- \dfrac{8^{5/3} \pi}{5/3}$ Hence, $V=\dfrac{64 \pi}{5}$
