As shown in the figure,a light uniform rod $PQ$ of length $150 \ cm$ is suspended from the ceiling horizontally using two metal wires $A$ and $B$ tied to the ends of the rod. The ratios of the radii and the Young's moduli of the materials of the two wires $A$ and $B$ are respectively $2:3$ and $3:2$. The position at which a weight should be suspended from the rod such that the elongations of the two wires become equal is
