One end of a massless spring of spring constant and natural length is fixed while the other end is connected to a small object of mass lying on a frictionless table. The spring remains horizontal on the table. If the object is made to rotate at an angular velocity about an axis passing trough fixed end, then the elongation of the spring will be
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
The particle is moving in a horizontal circle, so it is accelerated towards the centre with magnitude . The horizontal force on the particle is due to the spring and is given by , where is the elongation and is the spring constant.
