Volume Calculation Using the Washer Method

The video tutorial explains the washer method for calculating the volume of a solid of revolution. It begins by setting up the definite integral and factoring out pi. The expression is then simplified, and the antiderivative is calculated. Finally, the integral is evaluated at specific points to determine the volume, resulting in a final value of 31 pi over 30.
