my try:  choose v, w >0 and let  α=((v+w)/( (√(v^2 +vw+w^2 ))))∧β=−(v/( (√(v^2 +vw+w^2 ))))∧γ=−(w/( (√(v^2 +vw+w^2 ))))  ⇒  (x−α)(x−β)(x−γ)=  =x^3 −x−c ∧ c=((v(v+w)w)/((v^2 +vw+w^2 )^(3/2) ))  ⇒  ∫_0 ^p (x−p)(x^3 −x−c)dx+∫_p ^α (x−p)(x^3 −x−c)dx=0  ⇒  p=((2(15c−2α(3α^2 −5))α)/(15(4c−α(α^2 −2))))=  =((2(v+w)(4v^2 +13vw+4w^2 ))/((v^2 +4vw+w^2 )(√(v^2 +vw+w^2 ))))  ...did the v−w−thing to make sure it looks  like your graphic...
