<u>Explanation:</u>
Given:
Moment of Inertia of m₁ about the axis, I₁ = m₁x²
Moment of Inertia of m₂ about the axis. I₂ = m₂ (L - x)²
Kinetic energy is rotational.
Total kinetic energy is
Work done is change in kinetic energy.
To minimize E, differentiate wrt x and equate to zero.
Alternatively, work done is minimum when the axis passes through the center of mass.
Center of mass is at
