A thin 16-cm rod is made of an alloy whose density varies along its length according to the function shown in the figure. Assume density is measured in units of g/cm. The mass is the area under the density curve. a. Find the mass of the left half of the rod (0 ≤x≤8). b. Find the mass of the right half of the rod (8 ≤x≤ 16). c. Find the mass of the entire rod (0≤x≤ 16). d. Estimate the point along the rod at which it will balance (called the center of mass). a. The mass of the left half of the rod is Density (g/cm) Ay 124 10- 8- 6- 4- & 2 4 6 8 10121416 Length (cm) Q
