As the rod is along x -axis, for all points on it y  and z  will be zero,

so,  YCM  = 0 and  ZCM   = 0

i.e., the centre of mass will lie on the rod.  Now, consider an element of rod of length dx  at a distance x  from the origin, then

dm  = λ   dx  = (A+Bx) dx

So,   XCM  = 0Lxdm0Ldm=0Lx(A+Bx)dx0L(A+Bx)dx
