Integration — practice question

The diagram gives part of the curve $y = 2(3x - 1)^{-\frac{1}{3}}$ together with the lines $x = \frac{2}{3}$ and $x = 3$. The curve meets the line $x = \frac{2}{3}$ at the point $A$.
(i)[5]

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

(ii)[5]

Find the equation of the normal to the curve at $A$, and give your answer in the form $y = mx + c$.
