A uniform rod of length 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 are the density and Young's modulus of the rod respectively,

Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
Given, length of uniform 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 be the change in length of small element due to rotation, by application of force . 
Young's modulus, Where, centrifugal force due to mass of the element of length, . From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get ⇒ Total change in length,
