Answer:
Torque decreases .
Explanation:
The tape is pulled at constant speed , speed v is constant , so there is
v = ω r where ω is angular speed and r is radius , As radius decreases , angular speed ω increases , So there is angular acceleration .
Let it be α . Let I be moment of inertia of reel .
Reel is in the form of disc
I = 1/2 m r²
I x α = torque
1/2 m r² x α = torque
As the reel is untapped , its mass decreases , r also decreases , so torques also decreases .
