Solution
The correct option is C718ML2
Let the density at the hinged bed and at extreme end is 2d density at the distance x from hinge =d+dxL take dx width element at distance x from hindge. The mass of element is dx.
∫dx=∫L0(d+dxL)dx
M=dL+dL22L=3dL2
d=2M3L
for moment of inertia the MI of the dx with element
