Problem
The region in the first quadrant bounded by the y-axis, the line y=3, and the curve x=y2 is the base of a solid. Cross sections perpendicular to the y-axis satisfy
• for 0≤y≤1, the cross section is a square whose side length equals x=y2;
• for 1<y≤3, the cross section is an equilateral triangle whose base length equals x=y2.
Determine the volume of the solid.
