Rotation about y-axis, region between two curves

A question is this type if and only if it asks for the volume when a region bounded by two distinct curves (or a curve and a non-axis line) is rotated about the y-axis, requiring subtraction of volumes or use of cylindrical shells.

\includegraphics{figure_4} The diagram shows part of the curve \(y = \frac{k}{x}\), where \(k\) is a positive constant. The points A and B on the curve have \(x\)-coordinates 2 and 6 respectively. Lines through A and B parallel to the axes as shown meet at the point C. The region R is bounded by the curve and the lines \(x = 2\), \(x = 6\) and \(y = 0\). The region S is bounded by the curve and the lines AC and BC. It is given that the area of the region R is \(\ln 81\).
  1. Show that \(k = 4\). [3]
  2. Find the exact volume of the solid produced when the region S is rotated completely about the \(x\)-axis. [4]
