One end of a massless spring of spring constant $k$ and natural length $l_{0}$ is fixed while the other end is connected to a small object of mass m lying on a frictionless table. The spring remains horizontal on the table. If the object is made to rotate at an angular velocity $ω$ about an axis passing through fixed end, then the elongation of the spring will be:

Detailed Solution

$KΔx = m (ℓ_{0} + Δx) ω^{2}$
$\begin{array}{rcl} KΔx & = & {mℓ}_{0} ω^{2} + {mω}^{2} Δx \\ Δx & = & \frac{{mℓ}_{0} ω^{2}}{k - {mω}^{2}} \end{array}$
