Solution

The washer method is difficult to use in this case because the radius of the washers is not a simple function of y. The radius varies in a complex way as y increases, making it difficult to express the radius as a function of y.

The solid obtained by rotating the region about the y-axis would look like a vase or a bell, wider at the bottom and top and narrower in the middle.

The circumference c of a typical cylindrical shell is given by c(x) = 2πx, because the shells are formed by rotating thin vertical strips about the y-axis, and the distance from the y-axis to a strip is x.

The height h of a typical cylindrical shell is given by h(x) = 3x(x-1)², which is the y-coordinate of the curve at a given x.

The volume V of the solid S can be found by integrating the product of the circumference and height of the shells from x = 0 to x = 1. This gives:

V = ∫ from 0 to 1 [c(x) * h(x) dx] = ∫ from 0 to 1 [2πx * 3x(x-1)² dx] = 2π ∫ from 0 to 1 [3x²(x-1)² dx].

This integral can be evaluated using standard techniques of integration.
