Problem Statement

Let K K be the figure bounded by the graph of function y \equal{} \frac {x}{\sqrt {1 \minus{} x^2}}, x x axis and the line x \equal{} \frac {1}{2}. (1) Find the volume V1 V_1 of the solid generated by rotation of K K around x x axis. (2) Find the volume V2 V_2 of the solid generated by rotation of K K around y y axis. Please solve question (2) without using the shell method for Japanese High School Students those who don't learn it.
