$A$ thin circular ring of mass $M$ and radius $r$ is rotating about its axis with a constant angular velocity $\omega$. Two objects,each of mass $m$,are attached gently to the opposite ends of a diameter of the ring. The ring will now rotate with an angular velocity:

$A$ small disk is attached to the end of a light inextensible string,which passes through a hole in a frictionless horizontal tabletop. Initially,the disk moves on a circle of radius $R$ with kinetic energy $K_0$. The string is then slowly pulled so that the disk finally rotates on a circle of radius $\frac{R}{\eta}$. What is the work $W$ done in pulling the string?
