Integration — practice question

The diagram illustrates a section of the curve $x = \frac{12}{y^2} - 2$. The shaded area is enclosed by the curve, the $y$-axis, and the lines $y = 1$ and $y = 2$.
(main)[5]

With all working shown, determine the volume, in terms of $\pi$, when this shaded region is turned through $360^\circ$ about the $y$-axis.
