A non-uniform beam extends from x = 0 m to x = 5.4 m. The linear mass density of the beam, as a function of x, is given by
λ(x) = 415 x4 (kg/m).
Calculate the x coordinate of the center of mass of the beam, in m.
(Please answer to the fourth decimal place - i.e 14.3225)
Computation
A thin rod of length L and mass m has a linear density A(x) = Ax²
where A is a constant and is the distance from the rod's left end. Locate
the rod's center of mass (from x = 0) in terms of its length by filling in the
missing factor below.

[Hint: In terms of A and L, the rod's mass is M = f . Evaluate that
integral and substitute into the denominator of the center of mass

The constants h and e replace 1.00 m and 3.00 m. There is also a thickness t and a density p. You need two integrals, the total mass and the center of mass. Possibly surprisingly, you don't actually need the numbers t, h, and p. Ax y(x) X The column at x has a mass Am = (density * volume) = y(x) p t Ax. You add all the Am values to get %3D the total mass M. The sum becomes an integral: М — pt y(x) dx For the center of mass, you add each column's x Am, and divide by M: pt Xc х у(x) dx Calculate xc.
