Problem

An object initially rotating at

2.0\,\text{rad/s}

is observed for

5\,\text{s}

, and its angular velocity remains constant at

2.0\,\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.
