Solution

  1. When the chip of the rim of a flywheel revolving with a constant angular velocity breaks away, its mass will decrease.
  2. Due to the decrease in its mass, the moment of inertia of the flywheel will decrease.
  3. In order to conserve angular momentum, the angular velocity of the flywheel will increase.
