Two masses m and  are connected at the two ends of a massless rigid rod of length ll.  The rod is suspended by a thin wire of torsional constant k at the centre of mass of the rod-mass system (sec figure). Because of torsional constant k, the restoring torque is =k  for angular displacement 0.  If the rod is rotated by 0 and released, the tension in it when it passes through its mean position will be:

a.
