A uniform rod \(AB\) is rotated at a constant angular speed about its end \(A,\) the rotation axis being perpendicular to \(AB.\) During rotation, stresses are set up in the rod. Let the stress at \(A\) be \(\sigma_A\) and that at the centre \(C\) be \(\sigma_C.\) Then:
                   

1. \(\sigma_A=\sigma_C\)
2. \(\sigma_A=2\sigma_C\)
3. \(\sigma_C=2\sigma_A\)
4. \(\sigma_C=\dfrac34\sigma_A\)
