Question 1142804: Calculus Question:
Determine the volume of the sphere with radius 5 using the technique of disks or
washers. Remember to include the units. No credit will be given for relying only on the geometric formula. You must use the appropriate technique. Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
Slice the sphere into disks centered on and normal to the -axis. By Pythagoras, each disk will have a radius of . The thickness of any disk will be , hence the volume of a disk will be . And the sum of the volumes of all the disks will be:
