A small mass m on a string is rotating without friction in a circle. The string is shortened by pulling it through the axis of rotation without any external torque, Fig. 8–39. What happens to the angular velocity of the object?
(a) It increases.
(b) It decreases.
(c) It remains the same.

The forearm in Fig. 8–46 accelerates a 3.6-kg ball at \({\bf{7}}{\bf{.0}}\;{\bf{m/}}{{\bf{s}}^{\bf{2}}}\) by means of the triceps muscle, as shown. Calculate (a) the torque needed and (b) the force that must be exerted by the triceps muscle. Ignore the mass of the arm.

A laser beam is directed at the Moon, 380,000 km from Earth. The beam diverges at an angle \({\bf{\theta }}\) (Fig. 8–40) of \({\bf{1}}{\bf{.4 \times 1}}{{\bf{0}}^{{\bf{ - 5}}}}\;{\bf{rad}}\). What diameter spot will it make on the Moon?
