In mathematics, engineering, and manufacturing; a solid of
revolution is a solid
figure obtained by rotating a plane figure around some straight line (the axis) that lies on the
same plane.
Assuming that the figure lies entirely on one side of the axis, the solid's volume
is equal to the length of the circle
described by the figure's barycenter, times the figure's area.
