7. The region \(R\) between the \(x\)-axis, the curve \(y = \frac { 1 } { \sqrt { p + x ^ { 2 } } }\) and the lines \(x = \sqrt { p }\) and \(x = \sqrt { 3 p }\), where \(p\) is a positive parameter, is rotated by \(2 \pi\) radians about the \(x\)-axis to form a solid of revolution \(S\).
- Find and simplify an algebraic expression, in terms of \(p\), for the exact volume of \(S\).
- Given that \(R\) must lie entirely between the lines \(x = 1\) and \(x = \sqrt { 48 }\) find in exact form
- the greatest possible value of the volume of \(S\)
- the least possible value of the volume of \(S\).
