Cooling towers at nuclear power plants have a "pinched" chimney shape formed by rotating a hyperbola x2 around an axis. The function y = 401/1+ for – 240 < < 100, where x and y are in feet, 10000 describes the shape of such a tower (laying on its side). Determine the volume of the tower by rotating the region bounded by the graph of y about the x-axis.
