Question

A small block on a
frictionless, horizontal surface has
a mass of 0.0250 kg. It is attached
to a massless cord passing through
a hole in the surface (Fig.).
The block is originally revolving at
a distance of 0.300 m from the hole
with an angular speed of 2.85 rad/s.
The cord is then pulled from below,
shortening the radius of the circle in
which the block revolves to 0.150 m.
Model the block as a particle. (a) Is
the angular momentum of the block conserved? Why or why not?
(b) What is the new angular speed? (c) Find the change in kinetic energy
of the block. (d) How much work was done in pulling the cord?
