13–20. Mass of one-dimensional objects Find the mass of the following thin bars with the given density function.


ρ(x) = 5e^-2x,for 0≤x≤4

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Identify the density function given as \(\rho(x) = 5e^{-2x}\), which represents the mass per unit length of the thin bar over the interval \(0 \leq x \leq 4\).
Recall that the total mass \(M\) of a one-dimensional object with density function \(\rho(x)\) over the interval \([a,b]\) is found by integrating the density function over that interval: \(M = \int_{a}^{b} \rho(x) \, dx\).
Set up the integral for the mass using the given density and interval: \(M = \int_{0}^{4} 5e^{-2x} \, dx\).
To solve the integral, recognize that the integral of \(e^{ax}\) is \(\frac{1}{a} e^{ax}\), so apply this rule with \(a = -2\) and include the constant 5 outside the integral.
Evaluate the definite integral by substituting the limits \(x=4\) and \(x=0\) into the antiderivative, then subtract the results to find the total mass.

Definite Integral for Mass

The total mass of a one-dimensional object with variable density is found by integrating the density function over the object's length. Specifically, mass = ∫ from a to b of ρ(x) dx, where [a, b] is the interval along the bar. This integral sums the infinitesimal masses along the bar.
