Uniform rod of length \(L\) centered at the origin with point \(P\) on the perpendicular bisector.
Uniform rod of length \(L\) centered at the origin with point \(P\) on the perpendicular bisector.
A thin, uniform rod of length \(L\) and total mass \(M\) lies along the \(x\)-axis, centered at the origin. A point \(P\) is located on the \(y\)-axis at coordinates \((0, d)\), where \(d > 0\).

Which of the following expressions represents the correct integral setup to determine the magnitude of the net gravitational field at point \(P\) due to the rod?
