8.2AREA OF A SURFACE OF REVOLUTION
A surface of revolution is formed when a curve is rotated about a line. Such a surface is the lateral boundary of a solid of revolution of the type discussed in Sections 6.2 and 6.3.
We want to define the area of a surface of revolution in such a way that it corresponds to our intuition. If the surface area is A, we can imagine that painting the surface would require the same amount of paint as does a flat region with area A.
Let’s start with some simple surfaces. The lateral surface area of a circular cylinder with radius r and height h is taken to be A 2 rh because we can imagine cutting the cylinder and unrolling it (as in Figure 1) to obtain a rectangle with dimensions 2 r and h.
Likewise, we can take a circular cone with base radius r and slant height l , cut it along the dashed line in Figure 2, and flatten it to form a sector of a circle with radius l and central angle 2 r l. We know that, in general, the area of a sector of a circle with radius l and angle is 12 l 2 (see Exercise 35 in Section 7.3) and so in this case the area is
A 21 l 2 21 l 2 |
2 r |

l |
Therefore we define the lateral surface area of a cone to be A rl.

FIGURE 4
What about more complicated surfaces of revolution? If we follow the strategy we used with arc length, we can approximate the original curve by a polygon. When this polygon is rotated about an axis, it creates a simpler surface whose surface area approximates the actual surface area. By taking a limit, we can determine the exact surface area.
The approximating surface, then, consists of a number of bands, each formed by rotating a line segment about an axis. To find the surface area, each of these bands can be considered a portion of a circular cone, as shown in Figure 3. The area of the band (or frustum of a cone) with slant height l and upper and lower radii r1 and r2 is found by subtracting the areas of two cones:

where r 12 r1 r2 is the average radius of the band.
Now we apply this formula to our strategy. Consider the surface shown in Figure 4, which is obtained by rotating the curve y f x , a x b, about the x-axis, where f is positive and has a continuous derivative. In order to define its surface area, we divide the interval a, b into n subintervals with endpoints x0, x1, . . . , xn and equal width x, as we did in determining arc length. If yi f xi , then the point Pi xi, yi lies on the curve. The part of the surface between xi 1 and xi is approximated by taking the line segment Pi 1Pi and rotating it about the x-axis. The result is a band with slant height l Pi 1Pi and average radius r 12 yi 1 yi so, by Formula 2, its surface area is

As in the proof of Theorem 8.1.2, we have
Pi 1Pi s1 f xi* 2 x
where xi* is some number in xi 1, xi . When x is small, we have yi f xi f xi* and also yi 1 f xi 1 f xi* , since f is continuous. Therefore
2
yi 1 yi
2
Pi 1Pi 2
f xi* s1 f xi* 2 x
and so an approximation to what we think of as the area of the complete surface of revolution is
3
n
2
i 1
f xi* s1 f xi* 2 x
This approximation appears to become better as n l and, recognizing (3) as a Riemann sum for the function t x 2 f x s1 f x 2 , we have

|
b |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
f xi* s1 f xi* 2 x ya 2 f x s1 |
f x 2 dx |
Therefore, in the case where f is positive and has a continuous derivative, we define the surface area of the surface obtained by rotating the curve y f x , a x b, about the x-axis as

N As a check on our answer to Example 2, notice from Figure 7 that the surface area should be close to that of a circular cylinder with the same height and radius halfway between the upper and lower radius of the surface:
2 1.5 3 28.27. We computed that the surface area was

which seems reasonable. Alternatively, the surface area should be slightly larger than the area of a frustum of a cone with the same top and bottom edges. From Equation 2, this is
2 1.5 (s10 ) 29.80.
N Another method: Use Formula 6 with x ln y.

26.If the infinite curve y e x, x 0, is rotated about the x-axis, find the area of the resulting surface.
27.(a) If a 0, find the area of the surface generated by rotating the loop of the curve 3ay 2 x a x 2 about the x-axis.
(b)Find the surface area if the loop is rotated about the y-axis.
28.A group of engineers is building a parabolic satellite dish whose shape will be formed by rotating the curve y ax 2 about the y-axis. If the dish is to have a 10-ft diameter and a maximum depth of 2 ft, find the value of a and the surface area of the dish.

(b)If the ellipse in part (a) is rotated about its minor axis (the y-axis), the resulting ellipsoid is called an oblate spheroid. Find the surface area of this ellipsoid.
30.Find the surface area of the torus in Exercise 63 in Section 6.2.
31.If the curve y f x , a x b, is rotated about the horizontal line y c, where f x c, find a formula for the area of the resulting surface.
CAS 32. Use the result of Exercise 31 to set up an integral to find the area of the surface generated by rotating the curve y sx , 0 x 4, about the line y 4. Then use a CAS to evaluate the integral.
33.Find the area of the surface obtained by rotating the circle x 2 y 2 r 2 about the line y r.
34.Show that the surface area of a zone of a sphere that lies

between two parallel planes is S dh, where d is the diam- |

|
(Notice that S depends only on the distance between the |

planes and not on their location, provided that both planes |

|
intersect the sphere.) |

ROTATING ON A SLANT |

We know how to find the volume of a solid of revolution obtained by rotating a region about a |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
horizontal or vertical line (see Section 6.2). We also know how to find the surface area of a sur- |
|
|
face of revolution if we rotate a curve about a horizontal or vertical line (see Section 8.2). But |
|
|
what if we rotate about a slanted line, that is, a line that is neither horizontal nor vertical? In this |
|
|
project you are asked to discover formulas for the volume of a solid of revolution and for the |
|
|
area of a surface of revolution when the axis of rotation is a slanted line. |

Let C be the arc of the curve y f x between the points P p, f p and Q q, f q and let |
|
|
be the region bounded by C, by the line y mx b (which lies entirely below C), and by the |
|
|
perpendiculars to the line from P and Q. |
