Point masses m₁ and m₂ are placed at the opposite ends of a rigid rod of length L, and negligible mass. The rod is to be set rotating about an axis perpendicular to it. The position of point P on this rod through which the axis should pass so that the work required to set the rod rotating with angular velocity ω₀ is minimum, is given by

Options

(a) x= m₂/m₁ L
(b) x= m₂L/m₁+m₂
(c) x= m₁L/m₁+m₂
(d) x= m₁/m₂ L

Correct Answer:

x= m₂L/m₁+m₂
