Given a long, thin rod of uniform density, in space, at rest relative to our reference frame. Length L, mass M. A very small, light rocket can be attached to the rod at anywhere along its length, providing a constant force F. F0 is applied at the center (x=0); F1 is along the end (x=L/2). K is the kinetic energy; Kt is the translational kinetic energy, and Kr is the rotational kinetic energy.
F0: x = 0
There will be no rotation.
Test:
F1: x = L / 2
There will be some rotation.
