Question

The density of a non-uniform rod of length 1m is given by ρ (x) = a(1+bx 2) where a and b are constants and 1 ox ≤≤ . The centre of mass of the rod will be at

(a)3(2+b)/4(3+b)(b)4(2+b)/3(3+b)(c)3(3+b)/4(2+b)(d)4(3+b)/3(2+b)explain how to solve?

Solution

Center of mass is given by
c.o.m=1/M x ρ (x )dx
total mass of the rod will be obtaind by itegrating ρ (x ) from 0 to L
M=∫a(1+bx2)dx from 0-L
aL+bL3/3
now,
com={1/( aL+baL3/3) }*∫X a(1+bx2) dx
(aL2/2+abL4/4 )/ ( aL+baL3/3)
here L=1 given
com=3(2+b)/4(3+b) answer
