Question: A thin stick is placed along the x axis so that one of its ends is at x 1 = 0 . 0 0 m

A thin stick is placed along the x axis so that one of its ends is at x1=0.00m and the other one at x2=1.95m. The stick has a non-uniform mass density (x)=ax+b, where a=0.869kgm2 and b=1.787kgm.
What is the x coordinate xcm of the stick's center of mass?
xcm=
m
