Calculating Volumes of Solids of Revolution

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the volume of a solid formed by rotating the area between two curves, y = sqrt(x) and y = x, around the x-axis. The process involves visualizing the solid, which resembles a truffle with a hollow cone inside, and using the disk method to calculate the volume. The tutorial covers setting the boundaries of integration, calculating the volume of the outer shape, and subtracting the volume of the inner cone to find the final volume. The result is derived through integration and simplification of the expressions.
