Question:

A thin 10-cm rod is made of an alloy whose density varies along its length according to the function shown in the figure. Assume density is measured in units of g/cm. 

In Chapter 6, we show that the mass of the rod is the area under the density curve.

a. Find the mass of the left half of the rod (0 ≤ x ≤ 5).

b. Find the mass of the right half of the rod (5 ≤ x ≤ 10).

c. Find the mass of the entire rod (0 ≤ x ≤ 10).

d. Find the point along the rod at which it will balance (called the center of mass).
