A12.0-cm long cylindrical rod has a uniform cross-sectional area a = 5.00 cm2. however, its density increases linearly from 2.60 g/cm3 at one end to 18.5 g/cm3 at the other end. this linearly increasing density can be described using the equation = b + cx. (a) find the constants b and c required for this rod, assuming the low-density end is placed at x = 0 cm and the high-density end is at x = 12 cm. (b) the mass of the rod can be found using: m=dv=adx=(b+cx)adx

(a) The constants required describing the rod's density are B=2.6 and C=1.325.

(b) The mass of the road can be found using

Explanation:

(a) Since the density variation is linear and the coordinate x begins at the low-density end of the rod, we have a density given by

recalling that the coordinate x is measured in centimeters.

(b) The mass of the rod can be found by having into account the density, which is x-dependent, and the volume differential for the rod:

,

hence, the mass of the rod is 126.6 g.

hi,

what occurs during a solar eclipse?

there are small tides across earth.

the moon is between earth and the sun.

p.s. im not sure if the first answer is correct because during a solar ecliphse there are spring tides and i dont know if they are the same.
