Answer

$\frac{\sqrt 3}{8}$

Work Step by Step

lets calculate the integral of: $\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{3}}\sin^2x\cos xdx$ by using substitution ; take, $\sin x=t$ differentiate $wrt .x$ on both sides we get, $\cos xdx=dt$ And limits are from $0$ to $\frac{\sqrt 3}{2}$ $=>\int_{0}^{\frac{\sqrt 3}{2}}t^2dt=[\frac {t^3}{3}]_{0}^{\frac {\sqrt 3}{2}}$ $\frac{1}{3}$ $[(\frac{\sqrt 3}{8})^3-0]$ $\frac{1}{3}[\frac{3\sqrt 3}{8}]=\frac{\sqrt 3}{8}$
