For the conservation of angular momentum about origin, the torque acting on the particle will be zero.
By definition,
Here, and
But

A mass moves in a circle on a smooth horizontal plane with velocity at a radius . The mass is attached to a string which passes through a smooth hole in the plane as shown. The tension in the string is increased gradually and finally moves in a circle of radius . The final value of the kinetic energy is [2015]
