I read that if a bar is pivoted at one end and is rotating in a horizontal plane, the tension at a specific point decreases as you go away from the pivoted end.
Only inference I could draw from this is that the centrifugal force, which is the cause of tension, increses as you go towards the free end. But as the rod is a rigid body, tension at a certain point also acts on all points preceding it and the point closest to the pivot has the highest tension.
Is that correct?
