Answer

$L=C$

Work Step by Step

$v$ = $K\sqrt {\frac{L}{C}+\frac{C}{L}}$ $\frac{dv}{dL}$ = $\frac{K}{2\sqrt {\frac{L}{C}+\frac{C}{L}}}\left(\frac{1}{C}-\frac{C}{L^{2}}\right)$ = $0$ $\frac{1}{C}$ = $\frac{C}{L^{2}}$ $L$ = $C$ This gives the minimum velocity since $v'$ $\lt$ $0$ for $0$ $\lt$ $L$ $\lt$ $C$ $v'$ $\gt$ $0$ for $L$ $\gt$ $C$
