calculus - How do I compute this integral?

I'm wondering how to compute the integral $$ \int_2^3\int_0^\sqrt{3x-x^2}\frac{1}{(x^2+y^2)^{1/2}}\,\mathrm{d}y\mathrm{d}x. $$ Clearly it is too complicated to do it directly, so I'm guessing you have to do some change of variables. But what kind of change? This is not really a sphere, so I don't think that polar coordinates would be so good.
