A non-uniform beam extends horizontally from x = 0 m to x = 6.6 m.  The linear mass density of the beam, as a function of x, is given by  λ(x) = 17  -  6 (x / 6.6)   (kg/m). Calculate the gravitational torque on the beam about its left end, in N m.  Use g = 10 m/s2.  Make your answer a positive number. (Please answer to the fourth decimal place - i.e 14.3225)
