Consider two blocks of equal mass (m) connected by a massless rigid rod of length (L) moving in a vertical plane. Let the positions of the two blocks be described by coordinates ((x_1, y_1)) and ((x_2, y_2)). Since the rod is rigid and massless, the constraint is given by [ (x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2 = _____ ____ ____ ___ _______ _____.
