Having difficulty integrating. What will be the derivative and answer. See attachment

Are you familiar with integration at all? Since this is a fluid force problem, I assumed

perhaps you were in a calculus II class. That is where this stuff is commonly covered.

I assumed wrong?

Anyway, bring the 2 out and rewrite as:

124.8\int_{0}^{1}x\sqrt{1-x^{2}}dx

Now, do you know trig sub? I reckon not?

Use the substitution x=sin(t), \;\ dx=cos(t)dt

By doing this, it changes the limits of integration from x=0.. 1 to 0.. Pi/2

124.8\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}sin(t)\sqrt{1-sin^{2}(t)}cos(t)dt

As you hopefully know, cos^{2}(t)=1-sin^{2}(t)

Then, we get 124.8\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}sin(t)cos^{2}(t)dt

We can use the identity sin(t)cos^{2}(t)=\frac{sin(3t)}{4}+\frac{sin(t)}{4 }

Now, these are straight forward and we can integrate each separately and finish. Can you do that?
