CM of Baseball Bat
The "linear density" (mass
per unit length) of a baseball
bat increases with distance x
from the thin end according
to the function:
λ(x) = A + Bx
A small piece of the bat with
length dx has a mass of
dm = x(x)dx.
The bat has a length of L. The
CM is a distance of XCM away from the handle.
