Point masses m(1) and m(2) are placed at...

Point masses `m_(1) and m_(2)` 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 `omega_(0)` is minimum, is given by :

A

`x= (m_(1)L)/(m_(1)+m_(2))`

B

`x= m_(1)/m_(2) L`

C

`x= m_(2)/m_(1) L`

D

`x= (m_(2)L)/(m_(1)+m_(2))`
