The region in the first quadrant bounded by the y-axis and the curve x=y2x = y^{2} for 0≤y≤10 \le y \le 1 is the common base of two solids, with cross-sections taken perpendicular to the y-axis. • Solid U has square cross-sections. • Solid V has rectangular cross-sections whose base equals that of the square and whose height is k yk\,y, where kk is a positive constant. For what value of kk do the two solids have equal volumes? a) 11 b) 45\dfrac{4}{5} c) 54\dfrac{5}{4} d) 35\dfrac{3}{5}
