Answer

The final answer is \(\boxed{\frac{1}{18}\pi}\).

Steps

Step 1 :The region of integration for the integral \(\int_{0}^{1} \int_{0}^{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}}(x^{2}+y^{2})^{5 / 2} dx dy\) is a quarter of a unit disk in the first quadrant. In polar coordinates, this region is described by \(0 \leq r \leq 1\) and \(0 \leq \theta \leq \frac{\pi}{2}\).

Step 2 :The integral in polar coordinates is given by \(\int_{0}^{\pi/2} \int_{0}^{1} r^{2}(r^{2})^{5/2} r dr d\theta\).

Step 3 :The integrand is \(r^{3}(r^{2})^{2.5}\).

Step 4 :The integral evaluates to \(0.0555555555555556\pi\).

Step 5 :The final answer is \(\boxed{\frac{1}{18}\pi}\).
