Mx=ρab12([f(x)]2[g(x)]2)dxM_x=ρ \int_a^b \frac 1 2 ([f(x)]^2-[g(x)]^2) dx

where


a=0,b=2a=0, b=2f(x)=x, g(x)=0f(x)=\sqrt {x}, \space g(x)=0ρconstant densityρ - constant \space density

then

Mx=ρ0212xdx=ρ202xdx=ρ2x2202=ρ242=ρM_x=ρ \int_0^2 \frac 1 2 x dx=\frac ρ 2 \int_0^2 x dx=\frac ρ 2 \frac {x^2} 2 \bigg|^2_0=\frac ρ 2 \frac 4 2=ρ

Answer: the moment about the x-axis is equal to the constant density: Mx=ρM_x=ρ
