Standard +0.3 This is a straightforward volume of revolution question about the y-axis using a standard formula. While it requires careful setup (recognizing x = sin y means the formula is π∫x² dy), the integration itself is routine (∫sin²y dy using the double angle formula). The calculation is mechanical with no conceptual challenges beyond applying the correct formula, making it slightly easier than average.
The region \(R\) is bounded by the curve \(x = \sin y\), the \(y\)-axis and the lines \(y = 1\), \(y = 3\). Find the volume of the solid generated when \(R\) is rotated through four right angles about the \(y\)-axis. Give your answer correct to two decimal places. [5]
