A thin uniform rod of mass 'm' and length 'l' is kept on a smooth horizontal surface such that it can move freely. Where should a particle of mass 'm' moving horizontally strike on the rod from the centre (x) such that the point 'A' at a distance l/3 from the end of the rod is instantaneously at rest just after the elastic collision ?
