1. A flag pole is 15 m long.

The flag pole is non-uniform so that, at a distance \(x\) metres from its base, the mass per unit length of the flag pole, \(m \mathrm {~kg} \mathrm {~m} ^ { - 1 }\) is given by the formula \(m = 10 \left( 1 - \frac { x } { 25 } \right)\). The flag pole is modelled as a rod.

1. Show that the mass of the flag pole is 105 kg .
2. Find the distance of the centre of mass of the flag pole from its base.
