To find the position of the center of mass of a rod of length \( L \) with a linear density that varies as \( \lambda = A + Bx \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the mass element The linear density \( \lambda \) is given as \( A + Bx \). The mass element \( dm \) of a small segment \( dx \) of the rod can be expressed as: \[ dm = \lambda \, dx = (A + Bx) \, dx \] ...
