A uniform thin rod AB of length L and mass m is undergoing rotation about a fixed axis passing through end A and perpendicular to the rod, such that end A remains stationary as shown. The kinetic energy of section AP of the rod is equal to the kinetic energy of section BP of the rod at an instant. Then what is the value of ABAp3?(AB and AP are lengths of respective parts of the rod)

The correct answer is: 2
The KE of given section AP and PB will be equal if the moment of inertia of each section AP and section PB about A is same.



Moment of inertia of segment AP w.r.t given axis I1=λxx23 

Moment of inertia of segment PB w.r.t given axis I2=I0-I1=λLL23-λxx23

(Moment of inertia or rod AB w.r.t. given axis is I0 )

I1=I2λx33=λL33-λx33

Or x3=L32

ABAP3=L3L32=2
