\end{figure} Figure 1 shows a sketch of part of the curve with equation $$y = \operatorname { arsinh } x \quad x \geqslant 0$$ and the straight line with equation \(y = \beta\)
The line and the curve intersect at the point with coordinates \(( \alpha , \beta )\)
Given that \(\beta = \frac { 1 } { 2 } \ln 3\)
  1. show that \(\alpha = \frac { 1 } { \sqrt { 3 } }\) The finite region \(R\), shown shaded in Figure 1, is bounded by the curve with equation \(y = \operatorname { arsinh } x\), the \(y\)-axis and the line with equation \(y = \beta\) The region \(R\) is rotated through \(2 \pi\) radians about the \(y\)-axis.
  2. Use calculus to find the exact value of the volume of the solid generated.
