Take a look at the thin rod(of length ) above.
The mass density along the rod varies as where is a positive integer.
While calculating the co-ordinates of the centre of mass of the rod, we assume(wrongly) the COM to be at the geometric centre ie.,
Now, we know that's wrong and find the actual co-ordinate.
We note that the actual co-ordinate is where is the actual co-ordinate of the COM.
Define as percentage error
Approximately what mean maximum percentage error will we have made in assigning the COM to rods from to ie., where is the COM when is the exponent of in the surface density expression
You may use the approximations and .
Give your answer to the nearest integer.
