Question: 3 . A board whose width changes as w ( x ) = 2 ( Lx ) ( 0 x L ) , as shown

3. A board whose width changes as w(x)=2(Lx)(0 x L), as shown is fixed on the left edge. Here L is the length ofthe board. The material has an area mass density (per unit area) of kg/m2.a) What is the weight of the board? Derive it by integrating the weight of a differential element, dA located at x and that hasa width w(x) as shown.b) What is the moment of the weight of the board about the yaxis? Derive it by integrating the moment applied by thedifferential element, dA, located at distance x away from the fixed edge.c) An additional distributed load, that is constant along the width but changes with distance as F(x, y)= kx2N/m2, is appliedon the board (the gray surface in the figure is the force function). What is the moment applied by this external load on the fixededge? Solve this using a similar approach as step (b
