Here is the word problem:

Consider the region enclosed by y=sin^-1x, y=0, and x=1.  Find the volume of the 
solid generated by revolving the region about the x-axis using
a)  disks;
b)  cylindrical shells.

I do not understand how to do this on Mathematica, can you help?

Sincerely,
Stephanie Gill
