The length of a rod is 4ft and the linear density at the center is 2 kg/ft. The measure of the linear density at a point on the rod varies directly as the third power of the measure of the distance of that point from the left end of the rod. Set-up the definite integral that will give the center of the rod.

Why is the following situation impossible? A barge is carrying a load of small pieces of iron along a river. The iron pile is in the shape of a cone for which the radius r of the base of the cone is equal to the central height h of the cone. The barge is square in shape, with vertical sides of length 2r, so thatthe pile of iron comes just up to the edges of the barge. The barge approaches a low bridge, and the captain realizes that the top of the pile of iron is not going to make it under the bridge. The captain orders the crew to shovel iron pieces from the pile into the water to reduce the height of the pile. As iron is shoveled from the pile, the pile always has the shape of a cone whose diameter is equal to the side length of the barge. After a certain volume of iron is removed from the barge, it makes it under the bridge without the top of the pile striking the bridge.
The Mariana Trench is located in the Pacific Ocean and has a depth of approximately 11,000 m. The density of seawater is 1,025 kg/m3. If a diving chamber were to explore such depths, what force would the water exert on the chamber’s observation window (radius = 0.10 m). For comparison, determine the weight of a jetliner whose mass is 1.2x105 kg.
