Question

There is a non conducting rod of length L of negligible mass with two small balls each of mass m and electric charge Q attached to its ends. The rod can rotate in a horizontal plane about a fixed vertical axis crossing it a distance L/4 from one of its ends. In what position the rod must be set so that if displaced a little from that position, it begins simple harmonic oscillations ? What would be the angular frequency of SHM then?
