A uniform rod of length LL is rotated in a horizontal plane about a vertical axis through one of its ends. The angular speed of rotation is ω\omega. Find increase in length of the rod, if ρ\rho and YY are the density and Young's modulus of the rod respectively,A uniform rod of length L is rotated in a horizontal plane about a vertical axis through one of its ends. The angular

  2. B4ρω2L33Y\frac{4 \rho \omega^2 L^3}{3 Y}
  3. Cρω3L33Y\frac{\rho \omega^3 L^3}{3 Y}
  4. Dρω3L38Y\frac{\rho \omega^3 L^3}{8 Y}

Correct answer

C. ρω3L33Y\frac{\rho \omega^3 L^3}{3 Y}

Step-by-step solution

Given, length of uniform rod⁡=L\operatorname{rod}=L angular speed =ω=\omega and density of rod =ρ=\rho 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 dld l be the change in length of small element dxd x due to rotation, by application of force dFd F. A uniform rod of length L is rotated in a horizontal plane about a vertical axis through one of its ends. The angular
