Why I can't integrate[itex]\theta[/itex] from 0 to 2[itex]\pi?[/itex] Then integrate [itex]\varphi[/itex] from 0 to [itex]\pi[/itex]. It seems it can also generate a sphere.

I don't know how to integrate these functions

For 0 < θ < π sin θ is positive, for π < θ < 2π sin θ is negative.

For (d) : You have the wrong limits for the θ integration.

Also, the density is given by ρ = M π a2, where M is the mass of the circular lamina and assumes that ρ is the mass per unit area.

For (e): Your integral has both r & θ in it.

I suggest using r = 2a cos (θ) to find dr/dθ . What are the limits of θ for this integral ?
