A rod of mass M and length L is lying on a horizontal frictionless surface. A particle of mass 'm' travelling along the surface hits at one end of the rod with a velocity 'u' in a direction perpendicular to the rod. The collision is completely elastic. After collision, particle comes to rest. The ratio of masses The value of 'x' will be__________.
