Point masses and are placed at the opposite ends of rigid rod of length , and negligible mass. The rod is to be set rotating about an axis perpendicular to it. The position of point on this rod through which the axis should pass so that the work required to set the rod rotating with angular velocity is minimum, is given by:
Point masses m 1 and m 2 are placed at the opposite ends of rigid rod of length L , and negligible mass. The…
Solution
I is min. about the centre of mass
So,
