A particle of mass \(m\) is attached to one end of a light spring with spring constant \(k\) and natural length \(l.\) The other end of the spring is fixed. The system rotates in a circle with angular speed \(\omega\) in gravity-free space. The stretch in the spring is:
| 1. | \(\dfrac{m l \omega^2}{k+m \omega}\) | 2. | \(\dfrac{m l \omega^2}{k+m \omega^2}\) |
| 3. | \(\dfrac{{m} l \omega^2}{{k}-\omega {m}}\) | 4. | \(\dfrac{m l \omega^2}{k-m \omega^2}\) |
