Okay, so I'm currently working on a strange proof for the volume of a cone and could use some guidance with a difficult integral. I've done many other easier proofs involving rotational solids and triple integrals so please don't just tell me to do it that way, I already have.
I believe the following integral should give the volume of a cone with radius $r$ and height $h$:
$$V(r,h)=2\int_0^r\delta(y)\;dy$$
$$\delta(y)=2h\int_0^{\sqrt{r^2-y^2}}\left[1-\frac{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}{r}\right]\;dx$$
The first trouble I had was solving the density integral $\delta$. I simplified it to the following and tried using a typical trig sub with tangent.
$$\delta(y)=2h\sqrt{r^2-y^2}-\frac{2h}{r}y^2\int_0^{\arctan\left(\frac{\sqrt{r^2-y^2}}{y}\right)}\sec^3\theta\;d\theta$$
After a while I managed to solve the integral using integration by parts:
$$\delta(y)=2h\sqrt{r^2-y^2}-\frac{2h}{r}y^2\left[\frac{\sec\theta\tan\theta+\color{red}{\ln|\sec x+\tan x|}}{2}\right]_0^{\arctan\left(\frac{\sqrt{r^2-y^2}}{y}\right)}$$
$$\delta(y)=h\sqrt{r^2-y^2}-\frac{h}{r}y^2\ln(r+\sqrt{r^2-y^2})-\frac{h}{r}y^2\ln(y)$$
However, upon plugging into the initial volume integral, I got the following:
$$V(r,h)=2h\int_0^r\sqrt{r^2-y^2}\;dy-\color{red}{\frac{2h}{r}\int_0^ry^2\ln(r+\sqrt{r^2-y^2})\;dy}-\frac{2h}{r}\int_0^ry^2\ln y\;dy$$
The first integral can be solved fairly easily, and the third can be done with integration by parts and a little work. However, the second appears quite daunting and I don't know that it can be solved using elementary techniques. I've considered trying Laisant's inverse method, converting to polar, or using some trig identity a few steps back to alter this particular integrand but just don't know if I'd get anywhere.
The other thing I've considered is using a hyperbolic trig sub, but I'm less familiar with these and don't know how I'd reapply bounds to even solve the density integral, much less the remaining integral with respect to $y$. I've gotten a little past here but it seems to simply dead-end.
$$\delta(y)=2h\sqrt{r^2-y^2}-\color{red}{\frac{2h}{r}y^2\int_0^{\text{arcsinh}\left(\frac{\sqrt{r^2-y^2}}{y}\right)}\cosh^2\theta\;d\theta}$$
Any advice for proceeding (i.e. integrating that second log integral above or doing the hyperbolic one below)? I'd really appreciate it and may assign a bounty if it proves excessively daunting. I'd prefer the solution not be posted but if it necessitates non-elementary techniques feel free to do so as you've earned the right to post imo.
By the way if you do solve the problem and post it here, I am planning on putting this proof in a collection I am writing and would like to cite your name with your work if/when I submit it for jobs and other things.
Here's an outline of the final workings:
\noindent We consider a cone of height $h$ and radius $r$ formed by the following equation:
$$z(x,y)=h-\frac{h\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}{r}$$
\begin{center}
\small{*Note the transformations placing the cone upright on the xy-plane}
\end{center}
\noindent At some point $y=c$, we assign a density $\delta$ corresponding to the area of the hyperbola formed by the intersection of $z$, $y=c$, and the xy-plane.
$$\delta(y)=2h\int_0^{\sqrt{r^2-y^2}}\left[1-\frac{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}{r}\right]\;dx$$
\*
\noindent The volume of the cone is given by the following integral:
$$V(r,h)=2\int_0^r\delta(y)\;dy$$
\*
$$V(r,h)=2\int_0^r2h\int_0^{\sqrt{r^2-y^2}}\left[1-\frac{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}{r}\right]\;dx\;dy$$
\noindent First, let's integrate $\delta$ by parts:
$$\delta(y)=2h\sqrt{r^2-y^2}-\frac{2h}{r}\int_0^{\sqrt{r^2-y^2}}\sqrt{x^2+y^2}\;dx$$
\*
\noindent Substituting $x=y\tan\theta$:
$$\delta(y)=2h\sqrt{r^2-y^2}-\frac{2h}{r}y^2\int_0^{\arctan\left(\frac{\sqrt{r^2-y^2}}{y}\right)}\sqrt{y^2(1+\tan^2\theta)}\cdot y\sec^2\theta\;d\theta$$
\*
Simplifying:
$$\delta(y)=2h\sqrt{r^2-y^2}-\frac{2h}{r}y^2\int_0^{\arctan\left(\frac{\sqrt{r^2-y^2}}{y}\right)}\sec^3\theta\;d\theta$$
\*
\noindent Integrating with respect to $\theta$:
$$\delta(y)=2h\sqrt{r^2-y^2}-\frac{2h}{r}y^2\left[\frac{\sec\theta\tan\theta+\ln|\sec x+\tan x|}{2}\right]_0^{\arctan\left(\frac{\sqrt{r^2-y^2}}{y}\right)}$$
\*
\noindent Applying bounds and simplifying:
$$\delta(y)=2h\sqrt{r^2-y^2}-\frac{h}{r}y^2\left[\frac{r}{y}\cdot\frac{\sqrt{r^2-y^2}}{y}+\text{arcsech}\left(\frac{h}{r}\right)\right]$$
\*
\noindent Simplifying:
$$\delta(y)=2h\sqrt{r^2-y^2}-h\sqrt{r^2-y^2}-\frac{h}{r}y^2\text{arcsech}\left(\frac{h}{r}\right)$$
$$\delta(y)=h\sqrt{r^2-y^2}-\frac{h}{r}y^2\text{arcsech}\left(\frac{h}{r}\right)$$
\noindent Substituting $\delta$ into $V(r,h)$:
$$V(r,h)=2\int_0^r\left[h\sqrt{r^2-y^2}-\frac{h}{r}y^2\text{arcsech}\left(\frac{h}{r}\right)\right]\;dy$$
\noindent Breaking up:
$$V(r,h)=2h\int_0^r\sqrt{r^2-y^2}\;dy-\frac{2h}{r}\int_0^ry^2\text{arcsech}\left(\frac{h}{r}\right)\;dy$$
\*
\noindent Substituting $y=r\sin\phi$ in the first integral:
$$V(r,h)=2hr^2\int_0^{\pi/2}\cos^2\phi\;d\phi-\frac{2h}{r}\int_0^ry^2\text{arcsech}\left(\frac{h}{r}\right)\;dy$$
\noindent Using double angle formula:
$$V(r,h)=hr^2\int_0^{\pi/2}1-\cos2\phi\;d\phi-\frac{2h}{r}\int_0^ry^2\text{arcsech}\left(\frac{h}{r}\right)\;dy$$
\noindent Integrating with respect to $\phi$:
$$V(r,h)=hr^2\left[\phi-\frac{\sin 2\phi}{2}\right]_0^{\pi/2}-\frac{2h}{r}\int_0^ry^2\text{arcsech}\left(\frac{h}{r}\right)\;dy$$
\noindent Simplifying:
$$V(r,h)=\frac{\pi r^2 h}{2}-\frac{2h}{r}\int_0^ry^2\text{arcsech}\left(\frac{h}{r}\right)\;dy$$
\noindent Integrating by parts:
$$V(r,h)=\frac{\pi r^2 h}{2}-\frac{2h}{r}\left(\left[ \frac{y^3}{3}\text{arcsech}\left(\frac{y}{r}\right)\right]_0^r+\frac{2h}{3} \int_0^r \frac{y^2}{\sqrt{r^2-y^2}} \;dy\right)$$
\noindent Simplifying:
$$V(r,h)=\frac{\pi r^2h}{2}-\frac{2h}{3}\int_0^r\frac{y^2}{\sqrt{r^2-y^2}}\;dy$$
\noindent Substituting $y=r\sin\alpha$:
$$V(r,h)=\frac{\pi r^2h}{2}-\frac{2r^2h}{3}\int_0^{\pi/2}\sin^2\alpha\;d\alpha$$
\noindent Using double angle formula:
$$V(r,h)=\frac{\pi r^2h}{2}-\frac{r^2h}{3}\int_0^{\pi/2}1-\cos2\alpha\;d\alpha$$
\noindent Integrating with respect to $\alpha$:
$$V(r,h)=\frac{\pi r^2h}{2}-\frac{r^2h}{3}\left[\alpha-\frac{\sin 2\alpha}{2}\right]_0^{\pi/2}$$
\noindent Applying bounds:
$$V(r,h)=\frac{\pi r^2h}{2}-\frac{r^2h}{3}\cdot\frac{\pi}{2}$$
\noindent Simplifying:
$$V(r,h)=\frac{\pi r^2h}{2}-\frac{\pi r^2h}{6}$$
$$V(r,h)=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h$$
Answer
HINT:
I think there is a sign error in your post. I found that
$$V(r,h)=2h\int_0^r\sqrt{r^2-y^2}\;dy-\frac{2h}{r} \left( \int_0^ry^2\ln(r+\sqrt{r^2-y^2})\;dy-\int_0^ry^2\ln y\;dy \right) $$
which differs in the sign of the last term when compared with your formula above.
Now by lumping the last two terms together I get
$$V(r,h)=2h\int_0^r\sqrt{r^2-y^2}\;dy-\frac{2h}{r} \int_0^r y^2 \, sech^{-1}\left(\frac{y}{r}\right)\;dy $$
which on integrating by parts seems to lead to a sensible result.
Edited to add some details of the integration by parts
Taking $u=sech^{-1}\left(\frac{y}{r}\right)$; $\frac{du}{dy}=-\frac{r}{y\sqrt{r^2-y^2}}$ and $\frac{dv}{dy}=y^2$ ; $v=\frac{y^3}{3}$ gives
$$\frac{2h}{r} \int_0^r y^2 \, sech^{-1}\left(\frac{y}{r}\right)\;dy =\frac{2h}{r} \left[ \frac{y^3}{3}sech^{-1}\left(\frac{y}{r}\right)\right]_0^r+\frac{2h}{3} \int_0^r \frac{y^2}{\sqrt{r^2-y^2}} \;dy$$
the first resultant term is zero so the integral of real interest is
$$\int_0^r \frac{y^2}{\sqrt{r^2-y^2}} \;dy = \left[-\frac{y}{2}\sqrt{r^2-y^2}+\frac{r^2}{2}\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{y}{r}\right)\right]_0^r$$
the only other integral of interest being the first one
$$\int_0^r\sqrt{r^2-y^2}\;dy=\left[ \frac{y}{2}\sqrt{r^2-y^2}+\frac{r^2}{2}\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{y}{r}\right)\right]_0^r$$
