The height varies from h to zero according to this function: y(x) = h ( – 1)´ . The constants h
and e replace 1.00 m and 3.00 m. There is also a thickness t and a density p. You need two
integrals, the total mass and the center of mass. Possibly surprisingly, you don't actually need the
numbers t, h, and p.
