Two heavy cylindrical masses are placed at opposite ends of a platform that rotates around its center. A torque is applied to the platform's axle by means of a string. The string passes over a pulley and a mass hangs from the other end of the string.
The system is released from rest, and the platform begins to rotate with a particular angular acceleration.
If the experiment is performed a second time with the masses moved closer to the center of the platform, what will happen?
