A mass m is constrained to move on a horizontal frictionless surface. It is set in circular motion with radius r0 and angular speed ω0 by an applied force $$\overrightarrow {\bf{F}} $$ communicated through an inextensible thread that passesthrough a hole on the surface as shown in figure given below. Then, this force is suddenly doubled.
