The length of a rod is 10 cm and the linear density of the rod at a point x centimeters from
the left end, where left endpoint is at the origin, is (2x + 3) g/cm. Find the total mass of the
rod and its center of mass.
3. Find the centroid of the region bounded by the curves y = --x3 and y = -2x in the
second quadrant. Sketch the bounded region and plot the centroid to see if your answer is
