Randall D. Knight β Rotation of a Rigid Body: Problem 88
A rod of length \(L\) and mass \(M\) has a nonuniform mass distribution. The linear mass density (mass per length) is \(\lambda = cx^2\), where \(x\) is measured from the center of the rod and \(c\) is a constant. (a) What are the units of \(c\)? (b) Find an expression for \(c\) in terms of \(L\) and \(M\). (c) Find an expression in terms of \(L\) and \(M\) for the moment of inertia of the rod for rotation about an axis through the center.
