A uniform rod of mass m and length l is rotating with constant angular velocity w about its axis which passes through its one end and perpendicular to the length of rod. the area of cross section of rod is A and its Youngs Modulus is Y. The strain at the midpoint of the rod (neglect gravity)

i drew FBD of right half and got the force as \[F=\frac{ m \omega^2(l^2-x^2) }{ 2l }\]
as we know that \[\Delta l=\frac{ FL }{ AY }\]
\[\Delta L=\int\limits_{0}^{\frac{ L }{ 2 }}\frac{ m(l^2-x^2)\omega^2.dx }{ 2LAY }\]
iam getting answer as \[\frac{ 11m \omega^2 }{ 48AY }\] but it is not correct cant find my mistake

We are missing some of the question posed. The contribution to centripetal force dF due to the acceleration for an element of mass dm at distance r from the axis of rotation will be dm r w^2 and one would need to integrate this. Since "midpoint" is mentioned, perhaps using the center of mass approximation will suffice, giving you a force of approximately m (l/2) w^2 with which to estimate deflection by including A and the modulus of elasticity..
