Two point masses of $0.3\ kg$ and $0.7\ kg$ are fixed at the ends of a rod of length $1.4\ m$  and of negligible mass. The rod is set rotating about an axis perpendicular  to its length with a uniform angular speed. The point on the rod through which the axis should pass in order that the work required for rotation of the rod is minimum is located at a distance of
