# (56 pi )/3 #

Desmos

the volume of a small element is given by

#Delta V = pi ((1+sqrt(x))^2 - (1)^2 ) Delta x#
# = pi (1+2 sqrt(x) + x - 1 ) Delta x#
# = pi (2 sqrt(x) + x ) Delta x#

So # V = pi \int_0^4 \ 2 sqrt(x) + x \ dx#

#= pi [4/3 x^{3/2} + x^2/2 ]_0^4#

#= pi( [4/3 * 8 + 8 ]- 0)#

# = (56 pi )/3 #
