View Solution

The distance of the centre of mass from end $A$ of a one-dimensional rod $(AB)$ having mass density $\rho = \rho_{0} \left(1 - \frac{x^{2}}{L^{2}}\right) \text{ kg/m}$ and length $L$ (in meters) is $\frac{3L}{\alpha} \text{ m}$. The value of $\alpha$ is $\ldots \ldots \ldots$ (where $x$ is the distance from end $A$).
