$A$ rod of mass $M = 1 \ kg$ and length $L = 1 \ m$ is suspended horizontally by two ideal strings as shown in the figure. The strings are attached at a distance of $1/3 \ m$ from each end. First, a mass $m_1$ is suspended from the left end while keeping the rod horizontal. Then, a second mass $m_2$ is suspended from the right end, again keeping the rod horizontal. What is the maximum total mass $(m_1 + m_2)$ that can be suspended in this way while maintaining the horizontal orientation of the rod?
