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.

Aq.
[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 constant A will cancel and
