Question
we have this problem in our class today that left me
puzzled. here it is
Lets say i have a rod. and this rod has a length of 50 cm
lol. lets say this rod has a nonuniform density.
2=A+BVx
lets say lambda is measured in g (gram) per m (meter)
and x would be measured in m.
A = 50 g/m
B = 25 g/m^3/2
%3D
FIND:
a. need to find the dm for this one shape
b. get the mass of our rod
c. get the centre of mass of our rod
