Homework Statement


There's a problem that involves triple integrals, but basically, I've boiled all of it down to the following single integral but cannot proceed any further.

∫u2 sqrt(a2-u2) du
from 0 to a

where a is a constant

Homework Equations


The Attempt at a Solution



I attempted to use a change of variables, where
v = a2 - u2 and
dv = -2udu

but i still can't integrate it after substituting in for all u's.
