Chapter 9: Problem 53
Using symmetry, \(I_{x}=2 \int_{0}^{\pi / 2} \int_{0}^{\cos x} k y^{2} d y d x=\left.2 k \int_{0}^{\pi / 2} \frac{1}{3} y^{3}\right|_{0} ^{\cos x} d x=\frac{2}{3} k \int_{0}^{\pi / 2} \cos ^{3} x d x\) \(=\frac{2}{3} k \int_{0}^{\pi / 2} \cos x\left(1-\sin ^{2} x\right) d x=\left.\frac{2}{3} k\left(\sin x-\frac{1}{3} \sin ^{3} x\right)\right|_{0} ^{\pi / 2}=\frac{4}{9} k\).
