Consider two cylindrical rods of identical dimensions, one of rubber and the other of steel. Both the rods are fixed rigidly at one end to the roof. A mass M is attached to each of the free ends at the centre of the rods.
(a) Both the rods will elongate but there shall be no perceptible change in shape.
(b) The steel rod will elongate and change shape but the rubber rod will only elongate.
(c) The steel rod will elongate without any perceptible change in shape, but the rubber rod will elongate and the shape of the bottom edge will change to an ellipse.
(d) The steel rod will elongate, without any perceptible change in shape, but the rubber rod will elongate with the shape of the bottom edge tapered to a tip at the centre

This is a multiple choice answer as classified in NCERT Exemplar
(d) a mass M is attached at the centre. As the mass is attached to both the rods, both rod will be elongated, but due to different elastic properties of material rubber changes shape also.

If is Poisson’s ratio,
Y = 3K (1 - 2 ) ……… (1)
and Y = 2 ……… (2)
With the help of equations (1) and (2), we can write
dm = (m/L)dx
∴ T = (mω²/2L) (L² - x²)
∴ ΔL = ∫? (mω²/2Lπr²Y) (L² - x²)dx
= ΔL = mω²L²/3πr²Y
Initially S? L = 2m
S? L = √2² + (3/2)²
S? L = 5/2 = 2.5 m
? x = S? L - S? L = 0.5 m
So since λ = 1 m. ∴? x = λ/2
So white listener moves away from S? Then? x (= S? L − S? L) increases and hence, at? x = λ first maxima will appear.? x = λ = S? L − S? L.
1 = d - 2 ⇒ d = 3 m.
Loss in elastic potential energy = Gain in KE
½ (YA/L)x² = ½mv²
0.5 × (0.5×10? × 10? / 0.1) × (0.04)² = 20×10? ³ v²
0.5 × (5×10²) × 1.6×10? ³ = 20×10? ³ v²
0.4 = 20×10? ³ v²
v² = 20 => v = √20 ≈ 4.47 m/s
(Re-checking calculations)
0.5 * ( (0.5e9 * 1e-6) / 0.1) * (0.04)^2 = 0.5 * (5e2) * 1.6e-3 = 4.
0.5 * 20e-3 * v^2 = 10e-3 v^2
4 = 10e-3 v^2
v^2 = 400 => v = 20 m/s
