✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Incorrect. Try again or view the solution.
Solution
$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{R}=\left(\frac{\mathrm{ma}}{3}\right)+\left(\frac{\mathrm{a}}{2 \mathrm{~m}}\right) \\ & \frac{\mathrm{dR}}{\mathrm{dm}}=\frac{\mathrm{a}}{3}-\frac{\mathrm{a}}{2 \mathrm{~m}^2}=0 \\ & \frac{\mathrm{a}}{3}=\frac{\mathrm{a}}{2 \mathrm{~m}^2} \\ & \mathrm{~m}^2=\frac{3}{2} \\ & \mathrm{~m}=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}} \\ & \mathrm{x}=3\end{aligned}$
