A mass Y attached to a rope is moving in uniform circular motion on a frictionless table as shown on the diagram. The circular path of constant radius r is shown with the dotted line. The mass X is hanging from the lower end of the rope. The masses of X and Y can be adjusted. What independent adjustments to mass X and mass Y could produce uniform circular motion at a lower speed v, but with the same radius r? A. B. C.
