The length of a rod is 15 m and the measure of the linear density at a point is a linear function of the measure of the distance from the left end of the rod. The linear density at the left end is 3 kg/m and at the right end is 5 kg/m. Find the total mass and the center of mass of the rod. (Draw an illustration.)
