Question:

A block of mass m sliding on a frictionless table is attached to a string that passes through a hole in the table. Initially, the block is sliding with speed v0 in a circle of radius r0. Find

(a) The angular momentum of the block,

(b) The kinetic energy of the block, and

(c) The tension in the string. A student under the table now pulls slowly on the string.

(d) How much work is required to reduce the radius of the circle from r0 to r0/2?
