An object of mass M is placed on a disk that can rotate. One end of a string is tied to the object while the other end of the string is held by a pole that is located at the center of the disk. Initially, the object is spun in a horizontal circle of radius R at a constant tangential speed of v0, as shown in the figure, such that the tension in the string is T. At a later time, the disk is spun such that the tangential speed of the object is increased to 2v0 . At a later time, the tangential speed of the object is increased to 3v0 . Which of the following diagrams could represent the forces exerted on the object at one of the given speeds? Assume that the force of static friction is negligible. Select two answers. 2T
