A right circular cone of height 10m and base radius 5m has density given by p(x)
\n" ); document.write( " = 100(20 - x) kg/m^3, where x is the perpendicular distance from the base.
\n" ); document.write( " Find the total mass M of the cone.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "p(x) = 100(20 - x)
\n" ); document.write( "Find the density: x = 10, (the height from the base)
\n" ); document.write( "p(x) = 100(20 - 10)
\n" ); document.write( "p(x) = 100(10)
\n" ); document.write( "p(x) = 1000 kg/cu.meter
