So my basic understanding of an integral is that it finds the area underneath a graph.
I understand the idea behind an integral being the summation of f(x) * delta x, where delta x approaches zero.
If I look at the integral it's telling me that there's a change in mass that is being multiplied by its displacement?
Supposedly it's meant to represent a uniform distribution but I can't see it. If someone could clear up my intuition behind this that would be great :)
