Integrate $\int_{0}^{2\pi } \int_{0}^{a} \int_{0}^{\pi/2} \frac{ G\rho r^2 sin \theta}{ {(r^2-2rt cos \theta + t^2 )}^{\frac{1}{2}}} d \theta dr d \phi$, where $\rho, t $ are constants.
Sorry for the bad format. My idea was to integrate with respect to $r$ first, hence something of the form
$\int_{0}^{a} \frac{Ar^2}{\sqrt{(r-B)^2 + C}} dr $
But even in this simpler version I find it difficult as substitutions such as $r = B+ \sqrt{C}\tan \theta $ that get rids of the bottom still yields ugly trigonometric equations.
Any ideas? Thank you!
For example, the inner integral is:
$$\int_0^{\pi/2}\frac{Gpr^2\sin\theta}{(r^2-2rt\cos\theta+t^2)^{1/2}}d\theta=\left.\frac{Gpr}{t}(r^2-2rt\cos\theta+t^2)^{1/2}\right|_0^{\pi/2}=$$$${}$$
$$=\frac{Gpr}t\left[(r^2+t^2)^{1/2}-(r^2-2rt+t^2)^{1/2}\right]=\frac{Gpr}t\left(\sqrt{r^2+t^2}-(r-t)\right)$$
You're left then with the middle integral, which is pretty simple since for example
$$\int r\sqrt{r^2+t^2}\;dr=\frac13(r^2+t^2)^{3/2}$$
and etc.
