There is only on solid of revolution generated by this description.

The volume is #pi int_1^2 y^2 dx#

#pi int_1^2 (xe^(x^3))^2 dx = pi int_1^2 x^2e^(2x^3) dx#

Use the substitution #u = 2x^3# to get:

# = [pi/6 e^(2x^3)]_1^2#

# = pi/6(e^16-e^2)#

Use a calculator if you want a decimal approximation.
