The part of straight line y=x+1 between x=2 and x=3 is revolved about x-axis, then the curved surface of the solid thus generated is
A
337π
B
27π
C
37π
D
7π2
Answer
7π2
Explanation
Solution
Curved surface =∫ab2πy[1+(dxdy)2]dx. Given that a=2 , b=3 and y=x+1 on differentiating with respect to x
dxdy=1+0 or dxdy=1 . Therefore, curved surface
=∫232π(x+1)[1+(1)2]dx
=∫232π(x+1)2dx =22π∫23(x+1)dx=22π[2(x+1)2]23 =222π[(3+1)2−(2+1)2]
=2π(16−9)=72π=7π2
