$approx 2.73636$

From
$r(theta)=2theta*sin(5theta)-thetacot(2theta)$

we get by differentiating with respect to $theta$ :

$r'(theta)=10thetacos(5theta)-cot(2theta)+2thetacsc^2(2theta)+2sin(5theta)$
and our integral is given by

$int_(pi/12)^(pi/3)sqrt((2theta*sin(5theta)-thetacot(2theta))^2+(10thetacos(5theta)-cot(2theta)+2thetacsc^2(2theta)+2sin(5theta))^2)d theta$

What is the arclength of the polar curve f(theta) = 2thetasin(5theta)-thetacot2theta f(theta) = 2thetasin(5theta)-thetacot2theta over theta in [pi/12,pi/3] theta in [pi/12,pi/3] ?
