Answer
(a) ; (b) cubic units.
(a) Integrate the inverse sine by parts
. This real formula applies on the inverse-sine domain, with its derivative interpreted in the interior.
(b) Locate the intersection before choosing radii
Solving in the first quadrant gives . At height , the outer radius satisfies . For there is an inner hole of radius ; above there is no hole.
(b) Subtract the inner solid over only its height range
The source washer setup is
Units are cubic. As an independent check, cylindrical shells give , with the same value.

Common mistakes
The parabola coefficient is sqrt(3)/pi, and the inverse-cosine radius must be squared in the washer integral.
