A rod of length $L$ and mass $M$ is acted on by two unequal forces $F_1$ and $F_2 (< F_1 )$ as shown in the following figure.The tension in the rod at a distance $y$ from the end $A$ is given by

824-16

  • A

    ${F_1}\left( {1 - \frac{y}{L}} \right) + {F_2}\left( {\frac{y}{L}} \right)$

  • B

    ${F_2}\left( {1 - \frac{y}{L}} \right) + {F_1}\left( {\frac{y}{L}} \right)$

  • C

    $\left( {{F_1} - {F_2}} \right)\frac{y}{L}$

  • D

    none of these
