TopicVolumes of Revolution
TypeSurface area of revolution: parametric curve
DifficultyChallenging +1.2 This is a Further Maths question on surface area of revolution with parametric equations, requiring the formula S = 2π∫y√((dx/dt)² + (dy/dt)²)dt, followed by a guided substitution. While the topic is advanced and involves multiple steps, the question provides the target form in part (a) and explicitly gives the substitution in part (b), making it more structured than open-ended. The algebra is moderately involved but routine for Further Maths students.
Spec1.03g Parametric equations: of curves and conversion to cartesian1.08h Integration by substitution4.08d Volumes of revolution: about x and y axes

The curve \(C\) has parametric equations $$x = 3t^4, \quad y = 4t^3, \quad 0 \leq t \leq 1$$ The curve \(C\) is rotated through \(2\pi\) radians about the \(x\)-axis. The area of the curved surface generated is \(S\).
  1. Show that $$S = k\pi \int_{0}^{1} t^2(t^2 + 1)^{\frac{1}{2}} dt$$ where \(k\) is a constant to be found. [4]
  2. Use the substitution \(u^2 = t^2 + 1\) to find the value of \(S\), giving your answer in the form \(p\pi\left(11\sqrt{2} - 4\right)\) where \(p\) is a rational number to be found. [7]

The curve $C$ has parametric equations
$$x = 3t^4, \quad y = 4t^3, \quad 0 \leq t \leq 1$$

The curve $C$ is rotated through $2\pi$ radians about the $x$-axis. The area of the curved surface generated is $S$.

\begin{enumerate}[label=(\alph*)]
\item Show that
$$S = k\pi \int_{0}^{1} t^2(t^2 + 1)^{\frac{1}{2}} dt$$

where $k$ is a constant to be found.
[4]

\item Use the substitution $u^2 = t^2 + 1$ to find the value of $S$, giving your answer in the form $p\pi\left(11\sqrt{2} - 4\right)$ where $p$ is a rational number to be found.
[7]
\end{enumerate}
