A uniform rod of length l is being rotated in a horizontal plane...
A uniform rod of length is being rotated in a horizontal plane with a constant angular speed about an axis passing through one of its ends. If the tension generated in the rod due to rotation is at a distance from the axis, then which of the following graphs depicts it most closely?







Options
- A

- B

- C

- D

Correct answer
C. 
Step-by-step solution
The mass of the rod at a distance from the axis is
Integrating the above equation from to
The above equation depicts the relation between tension and length of rod as downward opening parabola.
