  • Is the angular momentum of the block conserved?
A small block on a frictionless, horizontal surface has a mass of 2.30×10-² kg. It is
attached to a massless cord passing through a hole in the surface (Figure 1). The block is
originally revolving at a distance of 0.300 m from the hole with an angular speed of
2.89 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.
