Homework Statement




The problem is attached in the picture.

The Attempt at a Solution



My question is, why can't the limits of ∫(dp) be from 0 to 1?

The shape is of the body is an inverted cone of angle 45 degree. Then isn't the question simply to find the integral of that function from p = 0 to p = 1, z = 0 to z = 1 and ∅ = 0 to ∅ = 2∏?

Since:

x = p cos∅
y = p sin∅
z = z


x2+y2 ≤ z2, 0 ≤ z ≤ 1

p2 ≤ z2

p ≤ z

Doing what you suggest would be integrating over a right circular cylinder of radius 1 and height of 1.
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
