Question
![**Computation**
A thin rod of length \( L = 8 \, \text{m} \) and mass \( m \) has a linear density \( \lambda(x) = Ax^2 \) where \( x \) is the distance from the rod's left end. \( \lambda(x) \) has units of kg/m and \( A = 5.91 \) with appropriate units that can't be displayed nicely due to Canvas limitations. Calculate the rod's moment of inertia \( I \) about an axis through \( x = 0 \) and perpendicular to the rod's length.
(Hint: Evaluate the integral \( I = \int r^2 \, dm \), where \( r = x \) is the distance from the axis to each element of mass \( dm = \lambda(x) \, dx \). Note: The rod's total mass \( m \) isn't needed but, if you would like to know it, you can find it by evaluating the integral \( m = \int_0^L \lambda(x) \, dx \).)
\[ I = \, \text{________} \, \text{kg} \cdot \text{m}^2 \]
