Point masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ are placed at the opposite ends of a rigid rod of length $L$ and negligible mass. The rod is to be set rotating about an axis perpendicular to it. The position of point $P$ on this rod through which the axis should pass so that the work required to set the rod rotating with angular velocity $\omega_0$ is minimum,is given by

$A$ table rotates about a vertical axis passing through its center with an angular velocity of $20\ rad/s$. $A$ flywheel is mounted on it,which rotates about a horizontal axis with an angular velocity of $40\ rad/s$. The resultant angular velocity of the flywheel is:
