Answer

The generated solid when the region bounded by $x= y ,\ \ x=\sqrt{y-1} ,\ \ y=1,\ \ y=5 $ rotates about $x-$axis

Work Step by Step

Given $$ \int_1^5 2 \pi y \sqrt{y-1} d y $$ Compare with $$V= \int_a^b 2\pi r(y) h(y)dy$$ Here $r(y)= y,\ \ h(y)= \sqrt{y-1}$. This represents the volume of the generated solid when the region bounded by $$x= y ,\ \ x=\sqrt{y-1} ,\ \ y=1,\ \ y=5 $$ rotates about $x-$axis.
