Problem

An object initially rotating at 2.0 rad/s2.0\,\text{rad/s} is observed for 5 s5\,\text{s}, and its angular velocity remains constant at 2.0 rad/s2.0\,\text{rad/s} throughout. What can you conclude about the net external torque acting on the object during this interval? State your reasoning in one sentence.
