I am trying to do the following integration:

Integrate[r^2*ArcCos[x/r] - x*Sqrt[r^2 - x^2], {x, Sqrt[3] y, Sqrt[r^2 - y^2]} ]

When I try, Mathematica comes back to be with a very long conditional expression.

How do I tell mathematica that r is positive, real in the above equation not complex.

Thanks

Kahless
