JEE Main 2019 — Rotational Motion Question with Solution
JEE Main 2019 (09 Jan Shift 1)
Question
Two masses and are connected at the two ends of a massless rigid rod of length The rod is suspended by a thin wire of torsional constant at the centre of mass of the rod-mass system (see figure). Because of torsional constant the restoring torque is for angular displacement If the rod is rotated by and released, the tension in it when it passes through its mean position will be:

Correct answer
D
Step-by-step explanation

When rod is rotated by angle the twist in the wire is
angular frequency of wire,
angular frequency of rod,
