Question

Find the Center mass
of unifom rod
of length I and mass M.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Find the Center mass of unifom rod

of length I and mass M.​

‌$\huge\fbox\red{Answer}$

Explanation:

Suppose a rod of mass M and length L is lying along the x-axis with its one end at x = 0 and the other at x = L. i.e., the coordinates of COM of the rod are ( 0, 0), i.e., it lies at the centre of the rod.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Suppose a rod of mass M and length L is lying along the x-axis with its one end at x = 0 and the other at x = L.

Mass per unit length of the rod l = M/L

Hence, dm, (the mass of the element dx situated at x = x is) = l dx

The coordinates of the element dx are (x, 0, 0). Therefore, x-coordinate of COM of the rod will be
