Question

find the moment about the x-axis of a wire of constant density that lies along the curve y=2sqrtx from x=0 to x=3

Answer 1

It would be better for you to post this in a more appropriate group (like Physics) and then post a link to it in any of the chat windows if you find no one available to help out in that group.

This helps keep the groups on topic.

Some of the sites that I've found show them solving it in a physics style but its not the same as the Calculus book solves it.

Answer 9

yeah physics as well. I've emailed the professor to see if she can send me a link. I think I'm going to just skip this one and finish the rest of the homework and come back to it. Thanks for the help though.
