The mass of the shaded region is the mass per unit area.
-
I'll find the area later on in terms of b and h,
-
but this is mass per unit area.
-
Then, I need to know the area of the strip.
-
I'm going to give the answer
-
because I don't have time to probe it.
-
But you should think about

-
It's not quite a rectangle
-
because the edges are slightly tapered,
-
but when δx goes to 0,
