Two masses M and m are attached to a vertical axis by weightless threads of combined length l. They are set in rotational motion in a horizontal plane about this axis with constant angular velocity ω. If the tensions in the threads are the same during motion, the distance 'x' of M from the axis is- 

(1) MlM+m

(2) mlM+m

(3) M+mMl

(4) M+mml

A ball of mass \(0.1~\text{kg}\) is whirled in a horizontal circle of radius \(1\) m by means of a string at an initial speed of \(10~\text{rpm}\) . Keeping the radius constant, the tension in the string is reduced to one quarter of its initial value. The new speed is:

1. \(5~\text{rpm}\) 2. \(10~\text{rpm}\)
3. \(20~\text{rpm}\) 4. \(14~\text{rpm}\)
