in some detail would be so much nice iam thankful for you
You have been given a big hint. For these problems you need to find an expression for the mass and find the region over which the integral is taken. You've been given the first part and 1/3 of the second. What is the region? Have you seen this kind of problem before?
no i dont our doctor just gaved it to us and he didnt solve them :S all i get from the last post is the equation but the limits of intgration i dont know them and {k} is something constant or what ???
k is obviously a proportionality constant:Quote:

You said this was for a test review. You should know the basic idea of this kind of problem for us to help you. Like mr fantastic said, go re-read your textbook and get familiar with the topic then come back and post your attempt. Someone solving the problem for you won't do you any good if you won't understand it.Quote:
