A straight rod has one end at the origin and the other end at the point (l,0) and a linear density given by λ=ax2, where a is a

known constant and x is the x coordinate. since this wire is not uniform, you will have to use integrtation to solve this part. use m=∫l0dm to find the total mass m. find xcm for this rod. express your answer in terms of one or both of a and l.

It is given that a straight rod has one end at the origin (that is (0,0)) and the other end at the point (L,0) and a linear density given  by\lambda=ax^2, where a is a known constant and x is the x coordinate.

Therefore, the infinitesimal mass is given as:

dm=\lambda \times dx=\lambda dx

Therefore, the total mass will be the integration of the above equation as:

\int\,dm= \int\limits^L_0 {ax^2} \, dx

Therefore, m=a\int\limits^L_0 {x^2} \, dx=a[\frac{x^3}{3}]_{0}^{L}=\frac{a}{3}[L^3-0]= \frac{aL^3}{3}

<u>Now, we can find the center of mass</u>, x_{cm} of the rod as:

x_{cm}=\frac{1}{m} \int xdm

x_{cm}=\frac{1}{m}\int_{0}^{L}x\times \lambda dx =\int_{0}^{L}x\times ax^2 dx=\int_{0}^{L}ax^3 dx

Now, we have

x_{cm}=\frac{1}{\frac{aL^3}{3}}\int_{0}^{L}ax^3dx=\frac{3}{aL^3}\times [\frac{ax^4}{4}]_{0}^{L}

Therefore, the center of mass, x_{cm} is at:

\frac{3}{aL^3}\times [\frac{ax^4}{4}]_{0}^{L}=\frac{3}{aL^3}\times \frac{aL^4}{4}=\frac{3}{4}L

Plz asap 1. (5 points) What is the value of x? Show all of your work. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
nalin [4]

Answer:

X = 20.6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean Theorem: A^{2} =B^{2} +C^{2}

A = 41.2 in, while B = 35.7 in and we are solving for C.

41.2^{2} = 35.7^{2} +C^{2}

1697.44 = 1274.49 + C^{2}

Now solve for C

422.95 = C^{2}

Take the square root

20.5657482237 = C

8) can u answer this question pls
Vsevolod [243]

Answer: 346.19cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

π= 3.14

Divide 21 (the diameter) by 2 to get the radius( it 's half of the diameter). so the radius is 10.5

Area= πr²

       = 3.14x10.5x10.5

       = 346.185

So next round up the value you got to the nearest tenth, so when u round up to the nearest tenth you get 346.19
