Problem

A square with side length of $4$ units is rotated on one of its sides by $90^{\circ}$. If the volume the square sweeps out can be expressed as $m\pi$, find $m$.

Solution

When a square is rotated about one of its sides, then it forms a cylinder. Thus, the answer is $4^3\pi\cdot\frac{90}{360}=16\pi.$ Thus, the answer is $\boxed{16}.$
