A 3m beam has two ends A and B. Its linear density varies. At a point x meters away from end A, its linear density is given by the expression x^3 kg/m.
a. What is the total weight of this beam?
b. What is its average density?
c. Where is the center of mass relative to the ends A and B?
Integration of kx^n is kx^(n+1)/(n+1)
a> weight is integration of differential mass that is density * length , total wieight = 20.25 kg
b> average density is 6.75kg/m
c> center of mass is 2.4 m from A.
