Question

The rod of length $L$ and mass $m$ lies on a smooth horizontal surface and is subjected to a force $P$ at its end A as shown. (Figure 1) Figure Part A Determine the location $d$ of the point about which the rod begins to turn, i.e, the point that has zero velocity. Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables $m$, $P$, and $L$. d =
