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
