A rod, of mass nM, is lying on a horizontal table, and has one end fixed; a particle of mass M, is in contact with it. The rod recevives a horizontal blow at its free end; find the position of the particle so that it may start moving with the maximum velocity. In this case show that the kinetic energies communicated to the rod and mass are equal.
