The area bounded by the parabola $y^2=x$, the straight line $y=4$ and $\mathrm{Y}$ axis is

The area bounded by the parabola $y^2=x$, the straight line $y=4$ and $\mathrm{Y}$ axis is
  1. $2 \sqrt{7}$ sq. unit
  2. $\frac{64}{3}$ sq. units
  3. $\frac{16}{3}$ sq. units
  4. $7 \sqrt{2}$ sq. units

Solution

Refer figure Required area is shaded. Point of intersection of $y^2=x$ and $y=4$ is $A \equiv(16,4)$ $\begin{aligned} \therefore A & =\int_0^4 y^2 d y \\ & =\left[\frac{y^3}{3}\right]_0^4=\frac{64}{3} \text { sq. units } \end{aligned}$
