Identify Limits and Function: Identify the limits of integration and the function to integrate.We are integrating x2y with respect to y from 0 to a2−x2 and with respect to x from 0 to a.
Integrate with respect to y: Integrate with respect to y first.∫0a2−x2x2ydy=x2[21y2]0a2−x2= x2⋅21⋅(a2−x2)= 21x2(a2−x2)
Integrate with respect to x: Now integrate the result with respect to x.∫0a21x2(a2−x2)dxThis requires expanding and then integrating term by term.=21∫0a(a2x2−x4)dx=21[3a2x3−51x5]0a=21[3a5−5a5]=21[152a5]=15a5
