(1) $\frac { 7 } { 3 }$
(2) $\frac { 5 } { 2 }$
(3) $\frac { 8 } { 3 }$
(4) $\frac { 17 } { 6 }$
(5) 3

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. [3 points]
(1) $\sqrt{2}\pi - \sqrt{2}$
(2) $\sqrt{2}\pi - 1$
