\end{figure} The shaded region R is bounded by the x -axis, the line with equation \(\mathrm { x } = 1\), the curve with equation \(y = 1 + \sqrt { x }\) and the y-axis, as shown in Figure 1. The unit of length on both of the axes is 1 m . The region R is rotated through \(2 \pi\) radians about the x-axis to form a solid of revolution which is used to model a uniform solid \(S\). Show, using the model and algebraic integration, that
  1. the volume of \(S\) is \(\frac { 17 \pi } { 6 } \mathrm {~m} ^ { 3 }\)
  2. the centre of mass of \(S\) is \(\frac { 49 } { 85 } \mathrm {~m}\) from 0 .
