4) A Level Further Maths Volume of Revolutions QP

This document contains 6 multi-part questions about calculating volumes of solids of revolution using integration. Questions involve setting up integrals to find volumes of regions bounded by curves and rotated about the x-axis. Expressions for volumes involve common constants like π or are in forms such as k ln a, a + bln c, or pπ + qπ2.
