Problem

A solid has base region in the xyxy-plane bounded above by y=1+sin⁡xy = 1 + \sin x and below by the xx-axis on the interval 0≤x≤π0 \le x \le \pi. For 0≤x≤π/20 \le x \le \pi/2, cross sections perpendicular to the xx-axis are squares. For π/2≤x≤π\pi/2 \le x \le \pi, cross sections are rectangles whose heights are one-half the lengths of their bases. Compute the exact volume of the solid.
