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

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 ?
