Physics - Rotation Question with Solution | TestHub

A mass $\text{m}$ moves in a circle on a smooth horizontal plane with velocity ${\mathrm{v}}_0$ at a radius ${\mathrm{R}}_0$ . The mass is attached to a string which passes through a smooth hole in plane as shown.

The tension in the string is increased gradually and finally $\text{m}$ moves in a circle of radius $\frac{{\mathrm{R}}_0}{2}$. The final value of the kinetic energy is:
