Calculating Polar Moment of a Region Inside/Outside Circle and Cardiod

[VinnyCee]

Here is the problem:

Find the polar moment of the region that lies inside the circle r = 3 and outside the cardiod r = 2 + \sin\theta. Assume \delta = r\theta

Here is what I have:

I_{0} = I_{x} + I_{y}

I_{0} = \int_{0}^{2\pi}\int_{2 + \sin\theta}^{3}\;r^3\;\theta\;\sin^2\theta\;dr\;d\theta + \int_{0}^{2\pi}\int_{2 + \sin\theta}^{3}\;r^3\;\theta\;\cos^2\theta\;dr\;d\theta

I_{0} = \int_{0}^{2\pi}\int_{2 + \sin\theta}^{3}\;r^3\;\theta\;dr\;d\theta

Is this the correct setup? I don't have to manually evaluate this one, I just need to setup the integral limits and the integrand. Thank you in advance!

It looks okay to me...The cardioide & the circle have only one common point (y=3)

Yes, your setup looks correct. The integral limits and integrand are the most important parts when setting up a polar moment integral. As long as those are correct, you should be able to evaluate the integral using a calculator or computer program. Good job!
