(3y/l)^2 + (3x/2l)^2 = 1 [takin point of intersection of those two[perp] lines as origin]

take the ends of rods as (x,0) and (0,y)

required point P is find the point (h,k) on the rod which divides the length in ratio 2:1

the put h, k in x²+y²=l²

locus of the reqd point will be

(3x/2)² + (3y)² = L²

or

(3y/2)² + (3x)² = L²

It's an ellipse.
