  • Session A

If the xx -coordinate x‾\overline{x} of the center of mass of the area lying between the xx -axis and the curve y=f(x)y=f(x) with f(x)>0f(x)>0 , and between the lines x=0x=0 and x=ax=a is given by x‾=g(a),\overline{x}=g(a), show that f(x)=A⋅g′(x)(x−g(x))2⋅e∫1t−g(t)dt,f(x)=A\cdot \frac{g'(x)}{(x-g(x))^{2}} \cdot e^{\int \frac{1}{t-g(t)} dt}, where AA is a positive constant.
