To find the volume of the torus generated by revolving the region bounded by the graph of circle about the y-axis, we may apply Washer method. In this method, rectangular strip representation that is perpendicular to the axis of rotation. We follow the formula for Washer method: using a horizontal rectangular strip representation with thickness of
.
The given equation: is in a form of
.
We set up the function of each radius based on the following formula:
inner radius:
Then the function for the graph from x=3 to x=4 will be:
outer radius:
Then the function for the graph from x=2 to x=3 will be:
From the attached image, the boundary values of y are: and
.
Plug-in the values on the formula, we set up:
Apply the basic integration property: .
From integration table, we may apply the integral formula for function with roots:
Then,
Apply definite integral formula: .
= or
(approximated value)
