The diagram shows part of the curve \(y = (x-1)^{-2} + 2\), and the lines \(x = 1\) and \(x = 3\). The point \(A\) on the curve has coordinates \((2, 3)\). The normal to the curve at \(A\) crosses the line \(x = 1\) at \(B\).

(i) Show that the normal \(AB\) has equation \(y = \frac{1}{2}x + 2\).

(ii) Find, showing all necessary working, the volume of revolution obtained when the shaded region is rotated through 360° about the \(x\)-axis.
