Two uniform slender rods AB and DE of weight w per unit length are attached to shaft

Question:

Two uniform slender rods AB and DE of weight w per unit length are attached to shaft CF as shown. The length of rod AB is L and the length of rod DE is nL A couple M of constant moment is applied to shaft CF when the system is at rest and removed after the system has executed one complete revolution. Neglecting the mass of the shaft, determine the length of rod DE which results in the largest final speed of point D.
