\end{figure} Figure 3 shows a sketch of the curve with parametric equations $$x = 3 \sin t , \quad y = 2 \sin 2 t , \quad 0 \leqslant t \leqslant \frac { \pi } { 2 }$$ The finite region \(S\), shown shaded in Figure 3, is bounded by the curve, the \(x\)-axis and the line with equation \(x = \frac { 3 } { 2 }\) The shaded region \(S\) is rotated through \(2 \pi\) radians about the \(x\)-axis to form a solid of revolution.
  1. Show that the volume of the solid of revolution is given by $$k \int _ { 0 } ^ { a } \sin ^ { 2 } t \cos ^ { 3 } t \mathrm {~d} t$$ where \(k\) and \(a\) are constants to be given in terms of \(\pi\).
  2. Use the substitution \(u = \sin t\), or otherwise, to find the exact value of this volume, giving your answer in the form \(\frac { p \pi } { q }\) where \(p\) and \(q\) are integers. (Solutions based entirely on graphical or numerical methods are not acceptable.)
