While setting up the integral for the moment of inertia of a uniform thin rod of length LL and mass MM about an axis through one end and perpendicular to the rod, which expression correctly represents the mass element dmdm of a small segment of length dxdx located at a distance xx from that end? a) dm=ML x dxdm = \dfrac{M}{L}\,x\,dx b) dm=LM dxdm = \dfrac{L}{M}\,dx c) dm=ML dxdm = \dfrac{M}{L}\,dx d) dm=M dxdm = M\,dx
