One end of a massless spring of spring constant k and natural length l0 is fixed while the other end is connected to a small object of mass m lying on a frictionless table. The spring remains horizontal on the table. If the object is made to rotate at an angular velocity ω about an axis passing trough fixed end, then the elongation of the spring will be
