    pi * INTEGRAL((3+0.1x)^2)dx
    with the integral limits being 0 and 5, and 0 and 10, respectively.

    This should become:
    pi * INTEGRAL0to5 (9 + 0.6x + 0.01x^2) dx =
    pi * (9*5 + 0.3 * 5^2 + 0.01/3* 5^3) =
    pi * (45 + 7.5 + 0.01/3* 125) =
    pi * (52,5 + 1.25/3) =
    pi * 635/12 = approx. 166 cm^3

    I hope I got the calculation right, but I'm not sure
