Point masses m1 and m2 are placed at the opposite ends of a rigid 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

   

1.x=m1m2L
2.x=m2m1L
3.x=m2Lm1+m2
4.x=m1Lm1+m2
