3. A board whose width changes as w(x) = 2(√I-√√) (0 ≤ x ≤ L), as shown is fixed on the left edge. Here L is the length of the board.

Derive it by integrating weight of a differential element, dA located at z and that has a width w(r) as shown. b) What is the moment of the weight of the board about the y-axis. Derive it by integrating the moment applied by the differential element, dA, located at distance r away from the fixed edge. c) An additional distributed load, that is constant along the width but changes with distance as F(x, y) = kx² N/m², is applied on the board (the gray surface in the figure is the force function). What is the moment applied by this external load on the fixed edge. Solve this using a similar approach as step (b).
