An object of mass $m$ is tied to a thin string,which is passed through a hollow tube. The tube is held in one hand and the string in the other. The object is rotated in a circle of radius $R$ with a velocity $v$. If the string is pulled downwards to decrease the radius,which of the following quantities remains conserved?

  • A
    Angular momentum
  • B
    Linear momentum
  • C
    Kinetic energy
  • D
    None of the above
