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. \(\dfrac{m l \omega^2}{k-m \omega^2}\)
