The question asks for the volume of a solid whose base is a planar region and whose cross sections perpendicular to an axis are specified geometric shapes (squares, semicircles, rectangles, isosceles right triangles, etc.).
Let $R$ be the region in the first quadrant bounded below by the graph of $y = x ^ { 2 }$ and above by the graph of $y = \sqrt { x }$. $R$ is the base of a solid whose cross sections perpendicular to the $x$-axis are squares. What is the volume of the solid? (A) 0.129 (B) 0.300 (C) 0.333 (D) 0.700 (E) 1.271
Let $R$ be the region in the first quadrant bounded above by the graph of $y = \ln ( 3 - x )$, for $0 \leq x \leq 2$. $R$ is the base of a solid for which each cross section perpendicular to the $x$-axis is a square. What is the volume of the solid? (A) 0.442 (B) 1.029 (C) 1.296 (D) 3.233 (E) 4.071
As shown in the figure, there is a solid figure with base formed by the curve $y = \sqrt { x } + 1$, the $x$-axis, the $y$-axis, and the line $x = 1$. When the cross-section of this solid figure cut by a plane perpendicular to the $x$-axis is always a square, what is the volume of this solid figure?

As shown in the figure, for a positive number $k$, the region enclosed by the curve $y = \sqrt { \frac { e ^ { x } } { e ^ { x } + 1 } }$, the $x$-axis, the $y$-axis, and the line $x = k$ is the base of a solid figure. When the cross-section perpendicular to the $x$-axis is always a square and the volume is $\ln 7$, what is the value of $k$? [3 points] (1) $\ln 11$ (2) $\ln 13$ (3) $\ln 15$ (4) $\ln 17$ (5) $\ln 19$
As shown in the figure, there is a solid figure with base formed by the curve $y = \sqrt{(1-2x)\cos x}$ ($\frac{3}{4}\pi \leq x \leq \frac{5}{4}\pi$) and the $x$-axis and the two lines $x = \frac{3}{4}\pi$ and $x = \frac{5}{4}\pi$. When this solid figure is cut by a plane perpendicular to the $x$-axis, all cross-sections are squares. Find the volume of this solid figure.
