Small bodies of mass m 1 and m 2 are attached to opposite ends of a thin rigid rod of length L and mass M . The rod is mounted so that it is free to rotate in a horizontal plane around a vertical axis (see below). What distance d from m 1 should the rotational axis be so that a minimum amount of work is required to set the rod rotating at an angular velocity ω ?

Figure shows a thin rod of length L that has masses m1 and m2 connected to the opposite ends. The rod rotates around the axis that passes through it at a d distance from m1 and L-d distance from m2.

Zorch, an archenemy of Rotation Man, decides to slow Earth’s rotation to once per 28.0 h by exerting an opposing force at and parallel to the equator. Rotation Man is not immediately concerned, because he knows Zorch can only exert a force of 4 .00 × 1 0 7 N (a little greater than a Saturn V rocket’s thrust). How long must Zorch push with this force to accomplish his goal? (This period gives Rotation Man time to devote to other villains.)

nature is an hereditary factor while nurture is an environmental factor which constitute an individual personality. so if an individual's parent has a deviant behavior and was also brought up in an deviant environment, observation of the behavior and the inborn trait we make the individual deviant.
