$A$ uniform rod of length $L$ pivoted at one end $P$ is freely rotated in a horizontal plane with an angular velocity $\omega$ about a vertical axis passing through $P$. If the temperature of the system is increased by $\Delta T$, the angular velocity becomes $\frac{\omega}{2}$. If the coefficient of linear expansion of the rod is $\alpha$ (where $\alpha \ll 1$), then $\Delta T$ will be:

  • A
    $\frac{1}{\alpha}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2 \alpha}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{4 \alpha}$
  • D
    $\alpha$
