A square of side length s lies in a plane perpendicular to a line L. One vertex of the square lies on L. As this square moves a distance h along L, the square turns one revolution about L to generate a corkscrew-like column with square cross-sections. a. Find the volume of the column. b. What will the volume be if the square turns twice instead of once? Give reasons for your answer.
