Highly selective Backlog Qs for JEE MainPhysicsMechanical Properties of Solids
A uniform rod of length L is rotated in a horizontal plane about a vertical axis through one of its ends. The angular speed of rotation is . Find increase in length of the rod, if and Y are the density and Young's modulus of the rod respectively,
Options
- A^3 Y 4 L^2
- B4 ^2 L^3 3 Y
- C^3 L^3 3 Y
- D^3 L^3 8 Y
Correct answer
C. ^3 L^3 3 Y
Step-by-step solution
Given, length of uniform rod =L angular speed = and density of rod = When rod is rotated in a horizontal plane, centrifugal force is responsible for increasing the length of rod, which is also equal to stress. If d l be the change in length of small element d x due to rotation, by application of force d F . Young's modulus, aligned & Y= stress strain = d F / A d l / x & d l= d F x A Y & d F= A Y d l x aligned Where, d F= centrifugal force due to mass of the element of length, d x . aligned d F & =d m x ^2 d F & = m
