Let $p(r, \theta)$ be any point on the given cardiode. The distance of p from it axis is $y = rsin \theta$. The density at any point is $p = kr^2sin^2 \theta$.

Mass of the lamina $= \int^{\pi}_{\theta = 0}\int_0^{a(1+cos \theta)}Kr^2 sin^2 \theta r \hspace{0.1cm}dr \hspace{0.1cm}d \theta\\ = 2k \int_0^\pi …
