Question: Pappus's Theorem (also called Guldin's Rule), which we introduced in Section 8.4 , states that the area of a surface of revolution (mathcal{S}) is equal

Pappus's Theorem (also called Guldin's Rule), which we introduced in Section 8.4 , states that the area of a surface of revolution \(\mathcal{S}\) is equal to the length \(L\) of the generating curve times the distance traversed by the center of mass. Use Eq. (14) to prove Pappus's Theorem. If \(C\) is the graph \(z=g(y)\) for \(c \leq y \leq d\), then the center of mass is defined as the point \((\bar{y}, \bar{z})\) with

\[
\bar{y}=\frac{1}{L} \int_{C} y d s, \quad \bar{z}=\frac{1}{L} \int_{C} z d s
\]

area(S) = 27 y/1+g'(y) dy

area(S) = 27 y/1+g'(y) dy
