A mass m travelling at speed v₀ strikes perpendicularly the end of a uniform stick of mass m and length ℓ=1.2 m, initially at rest. The collision is completely inelastic and the mass sticks to the rod. The point on the stick that is instantaneously at rest just after collision is at distance x₀ cm from end A. Find x₀/10.
