Force
Question

A particle of mass m is fixed to one end of light spring of force constant k and unstretched length I as shown in fig. (5). The system is rotated about the other end of

the spring with angular velocity o in gravity free space. The increase in length of the spring will be

Moderate
Solution

Let the extension produced in the springs due to rotation be x. For the equilibrium of the body
kx=m(l+x)ω2
or kx=mlω2+mxω2
or kxmxω2=mlω2
x=mlω2k2
