Integration — practice question

The diagram illustrates a section of the curve with equation $y = \sqrt{x^3 + x^2}$. The shaded area is enclosed by the curve, the $x$-axis and the line $x = 3$.
(i)[4]

Find, showing all the required working, the volume produced when the shaded region is turned through $360^\circ$ about the $x$-axis.

(ii)[6]

$P$ is the point on the curve with $x$-coordinate $3$. Find the $y$-coordinate of the point where the normal to the curve at $P$ crosses the $y$-axis.
