Volumes of Solids of Revolution: Shell Method
Requires a Wolfram Notebook System
Interact on desktop, mobile and cloud with the free Wolfram Player or other Wolfram Language products.
The volume of a solid of revolution can be approximated using the volumes of concentric cylindrical shells. Choose between rotating around the 
axis or the 
axis. Move the sliders to change the space between cylinders and to see the solid emerge.
