Figure 1. A non-uniform rod on a horizontal table.
A non-uniform slender rod of length \(L\) lies on a horizontal, frictionless table. The rod is attached to a fixed vertical pivot at one end, located at \(x = 0\). The linear mass density \(\lambda\) of the rod varies with distance \(x\) from the pivot according to the equation \(\lambda(x) = c x^2\), where \(c\) is a positive constant.
