A rod is positioned along the z-axis such that one of its ends is at z = L, and the other one is at z = 2L. The linear mass density of the rod is 2/z3. Find the center of mass of this rod, and express your answer as a multiple of L, to three decimal places. For example, if the center of mass is at z = 0.5L, enter 0.500.
