4. A tiny ball (assumed to be a point) is attached to a fixed point in space perfectly elastic straight massless spring with spring constant k ssless spring with spring constant k (F = - kr). Note that the r-dependence of this force is very different than gravitational atu an gravitational attraction. The ball orbits around the point with the spring never going slack, but changing the distance r from the fixed point. Does the angular momentum change as we ball gets closer to the fixed point? If so, how does it change? If not, why not?
