$A$ rod of mass $m$ and length $l$ is rotated about one of its ends with an angular velocity $\omega$. What is the tension in the rod at a distance $x$ from the axis of rotation?

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2}m{\omega ^2}x$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2}m{\omega ^2}\frac{{{x^2}}}{l}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2}m{\omega ^2}l\left( {1 - \frac{x}{l}} \right)$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{2}\frac{{m{\omega ^2}}}{l}[{l^2} - {x^2}]$
