The total mass of a rod of length L meters is M kilograms, and the measure of the linear density at a point x meters from the left end is proportional to the measure of the distance of the point from the right end. Show that the linear density at a point on the rod x meters from the left end is 2M (L − x)/ L² kilograms per meter.
