Use the lamina from Exercise 64, but assume that the density is proportional to the distance from the x-axis.

In the following lamina, all angles are right angles and the density is constant:

Describe the three-dimensional region expressed in each iterated integral in Exercises 35鈥44.
In Exercises 57鈥60, let R be the rectangular solid defined by
R = {(x, y, z) | 0 鈮 x 鈮 4, 0 鈮 y 鈮 3, 0 鈮 z 鈮 2}.
Assuming that the density at each point in R is proportional to the distance of the point from the xy-plane, find the moment of inertia about the x-axis and the radius of gyration about the x-axis.
