Small bodies of mass m, and m, are attached to opposite ends of a thin rigid rod of length L and mass M. The rod is mounted so that it is free to rotate in a horizontal plane around a vertical axis (see below). What distance d from m, should the rotational axis be so that a minimum amount of work is required to set the rod rotating at an angular velocity w?
