An extended object consists of two point masses, m1 and m2, connected via a rigid massless rod of length L, as shown in the figure. The object is rotating at a constant angular velocity about an axis perpendicular to the page through the midpoint of the rod. Two time-varying tangential forces, F1 and F2, are applied to m1 and m2, respectively. After the forces have been applied, what will happen to the angular velocity of the object?
