LI = LIII > LII 008 10.0 points A small puck moves in a circle on a frictionless airtable. The circular motion is enforced by string tied to the puck and going through a tiny hole in the middle of the table. Initially, the puck moves in a circle of radius R1 at speed v1 . But later the string is pulled down through the hole forcing the puck to move in 1 a smaller circle of radius R2 = R1 . 2

When his arms are extended horizontally, the masses are 0.73 m from the axis of rotation, and he rotates with an angular velocity of 1.7 rad/sec. The student then pulls the weights horizontally to a shorter distance 0.28 m from the rotation axis and his angular velocity increases to 2 .
