To find the distance of the center of mass from one end of a thin rod with a linear density given by \(\lambda = 1 + 2x\), where \(x\) is the distance from one end, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We have a thin rod of length \(L = 1 \, \text{m}\) and a linear density \(\lambda(x) = 1 + 2x\). We need to find the center of mass of this rod. ### Step 2: Define the Mass Element The mass element \(dm\) of a small segment of the rod of length \(dx\) at position \(x\) can be expressed as: \[ ...
