a uniform rod of mass m and length l rotates in a horizontal plane with an angular velocity ω about a vertical axis passing through one end .The tension in the rod at a distance x from the axis is?

Consider an element of width dy and having mass dm.
Centripetal force acting on this element ,
Net centripetal force acting on the rod till length x ,
Net centripetal force acting on the whole rod ,
T=21Mω2L(1−L2x2)
Sushovan Halder thanks a lot481Is the answer Mw^2L/2
Anurag Ghosh sry Mw^2x/2??Sushovan Halder i need the solution481Sry dude the answer must be M*w^2*x^2/2L....See assume a rod of lenght L which is hinged at 1 end.....its rotating with an angular velocity w......now take an element dy of mass dm at a distance y.......Now,
dm/dy=M/L -> dm=M*dy/L
Now...at d distance y,Tension=centrifugal force
So,dT=dm*w^2*y -> dT=M*w^2*y*dy/L
Integrating,we get.......T=M*w^2*x^2/2L.....
Sushovan Halder but the answer is Mw^2L(1-x^2/L^2)/2
