20. A thin rod of mass M and length L gravitationally interacts with a point mass m that is a perpendicular distance a away from its left end (see the figure). The rod is non-uniform, and its linear density (mass per unit length) increases with the distance from its left end according to 2(x) = 2Mx/L?, where x is the horizontal coordinate along the rod (so that x = 0 is at its left end and x=L is at its...

1. A thin rod of length L and total mass M has a linear mass density that varies with position as λ(x)-γ?, where x = 0 is located at the left end of the rod and γ has dimensions M/L3. ĮNote: requires calculus] (a) Find γ in terms of the total mass M and the length L.

Consider a very (infinitesimally!) thin but massive rod, length L (total mass M), centered around the origin, sitting along the x-axis. (So the left end is at (-L/2, 0,0) and the right end is at (+L/2,0,0) Assume the mass density λ (which has units of kg/m)is not uniform, but instead varies linearly with distance from the origin, λ(x) = c|x|. a) What is that constant “c” in terms of M and L? What is the direction of the gravitational field...
(a) A thin plastic rod of length L carries a uniform linear charge density, λ-20 trCm, along the x-axis, with its left edge at the coordinates (-3,0) and its right edge at (5, 0) m. All distances are measured in meters. Use integral methods to find the x-and y-components of the electric field vector due to the uniformly-charged charged rod at the point, P. with coordinates (0, -4) m. 4, (o, 4 p2212sp2018 tl.doex
1. Finding the Moment of Inertia of a Uniform Thin Rod with mass M and length L rotating about its center (a thin rod is a ID object; in the figure the rod has a thickness for clarity): For this problem, use a coordinate axis with its origin at the rod's center and let the rod extend along the x axis as shown here (in other problems, you will need to generate the diagram): dx dm Now, we select a...
A non-uniform rod of length 0.5m is placed along the x-axis at a distance.2m from the origin. The mass per unit length 2 varies according to the expression λ = 5 + 2x2, measured in units of kg/m, where x is measured in meters from the origin. Set up but do not solve an integral that will allow you to find the gravitational force exerted by the rod on a 0.1 kg mass placed at the origin (Hint: An element...
A thin rod of length L lies along the x-axis. It has a uniform linear charge distribution λ0. a) What is the value of the electric potential at a given point x located to the right of the rod? Take V=0 at infinity.b) What is the strength of the electric field at the point x?
A very thin, straight, uniform rod has a length of 3.00 m and a total mass of 7.00 kg. Treating the rod as essentially a line segment of mass (distributed uniformly), do the following: (i) Use integration to prove that the rod's center of mass is located at its center point. (Reminders: dmnds mass (and that axis is perpendicular to the rod). with the previous result-to calculate lemr the moment of inertia of the rod about an axis through one...
A long thin rod of length 2.0 m has a linear density λ(x) = Ax where x is the distance from the left end of the rod and A=3.0 kg/m. What is the mass (in kg) of the rod ?
