Want to know:

In an Olympic event called the "hammer throw," an athlete twirls the massive ball on the end of a wire. Once he gets the ball twirling very quickly, the athlete releases the wire, allowing the ball to fly straight out into the field. The person who throws the ball the farthest this way is the winner.B. Suppose the athlete starts by gripping the wire close to the ball so the ball sweeps out a small circle. Then, keeping the speed of the ball constant, he allows some of the wire to slip through his hands so the ball sweeps out a larger and larger circle. Will the wire exert more, less, or the same amount of force as the athlete makes his adjustment?
