SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on simplifying the gravitomagnetic integral represented by the equation m*G*16*π*ρ*ω/c^2*∫(a_0 to a_1)(da*a*∫(y to H+y)(∫(0 to R)(∫(0 to 2π)((r-a*Cos(α))*r^2)/(a^2+r^2+h^2-2*r(a*Cos(α)))^{3/2} dα)dr)dh)). Participants suggest using integral tables or applying u-substitution combined with integration by parts to tackle the innermost integral, which is A*cos(α)/(B + C*cos(α))^3/2, integrated over α from 0 to 2π. The goal is to simplify this complex mathematical expression effectively.

##m*\frac{G*16*π*ρ*ω}{c^2}*\int_{a_0}^{a_{1}}(da*a*\int_{y}^{H+y} (\int_0^R (\int_0^{2*π} (\frac{(r-a*Cos(α))*r^2}{(a^2+r^2+h^2-2*r(a*Cos(α)))^{3/2}}* dα)dr)dh))##
This equation is related with this post https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/gravitomagnetic-experiment.824048/.

It where helpful if you could simplify even most inner Integral.

What did you try?
 
The innermost integral is basically A*cos(alpha) / (B + C * cos(alpha)) ^3/2 to be integrated over alpha from 0 to 2pi.

Integral tables may help or you can use u substitution with integration by parts to see if that leads anywhere.
