![### Problem Statement
Find the mass (in kg) of the one-dimensional object.
**Description:**
A wire that is 5 meters long (starting at \( x = 0 \)) and has a density function given by:
\[
\rho(x) = x^2 + 5x \quad \text{kg/m}
\]
Calculate the total mass of the wire.
### Solution Explanation
To find the mass of the wire, we must integrate the density function over the length of the wire. The mass \( M \) is given by:
\[
M = \int_{0}^{5} \rho(x) \, dx
\]
Substituting \(\rho(x) = x^2 + 5x\), we have:
\[
M = \int_{0}^{5} (x^2 + 5x) \, dx
\]
Carrying out the integration:
1. Integrate \( x^2 \) from 0 to 5:
\[
\int_{0}^{5} x^2 \, dx = \left[ \frac{x^3}{3} \right]_{0}^{5} = \frac{5^3}{3} - \frac{0^3}{3} = \frac{125}{3}
\]
2. Integrate \( 5x \) from 0 to 5:
\[
\int_{0}^{5} 5x \, dx = \left[ \frac{5x^2}{2} \right]_{0}^{5} = \frac{5 \times 25}{2} = \frac{125}{2}
\]
Adding both results:
\[
M = \frac{125}{3} + \frac{125}{2}
\]
Converting to a common denominator and adding:
\[
M = \frac{250}{6} + \frac{375}{6} = \frac{625}{6} \quad \text{kg}
\]
Therefore, the mass of the wire is approximately \( 104.17 \) kg.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F442dbc45-c63a-4162-b0ec-262cacde4170%2F1c666738-e1c6-43bc-bc59-a89763a23760%2Fw61hz6_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
