Sagot :

Answer:

The rod is stretched because there is a larger gravitational force on the mass closest to mass M.

F = G M m / r^2 - G M m / (r + l)^2       the difference of the forces on m's

F = G M m [1 / r^2 - 1 / (r + l)^2]

[1 / r^2 - 1 / (r + l)^2] = (r^2 + 2 r l + l^2 - r^2 / [r^2 (r + l)^2]

= (2 r l + l^2) / [r^2 (r + l)^2]

if l is small compared to r = (2 r l ) / [r^2 (r + l)^2]

= (2 r l ) / [r^4 + 2 r^3 l ]
