A small block is rotating in a horizontal circle at the end of a thread which passes down through a hole at the centre of table top. If the system is rotating at 2.5 rps in a circle of 30 cm radius, what will be the speed of rotation when the thread is pulled inwards to decrease the radius to 10 cm ? Neglect friction.

A small block of mass m on a horizontal smooth table is attached to a light string passing through a hole as shown in the figure. Initially, the block moves in a circle of radius r with speed v and the string is held by a person. The person pulls the strin slowly to decrease the radius of circle to r//2 . (a) Find the tension in the string when the block moves in a circle of radius r//2 . (b) Calculate the change in the kinetic energy of the block.
