Finding the volume of a solid of revolution (disk method)
Using the disk method, determine the volume of a solid formed by revolving the region bounded by the parabola y = 4 - x^2 and the x-axis about the y-axis.
The 2d picture below may help in determining the inner and outer radius of the washer used in setting up the integral for the volume.

Part 1.
Setup the integral that represents the volume of the solid of revolution described above..
Part 2.
The volume of the solid is units cubed.
NOTE: Type an exact value without using decimals.
