88. Using Eq. 16-29 and the parallel-axis formula for rotational inertia, we have

where we have used the fact (from Ch. 11) that I

/12 for a uniform rod. We wish to minimize

by taking the derivative and setting equal to zero, but we observe that this is done more easily if we
consider I

(the square of the above expression) instead of I. Thus,
