Two bodies of equal mass revolve in circular orbits of radii \(R_1\) and \(R_2\) with the same period. Their centripetal forces are in the ratio:
1. \(\left(\dfrac{R_2}{R_1}\right)^2\)
2. \(\dfrac{R_1}{R_2}\)
3. \(\left(\dfrac{R_1}{R_2}\right)^2\)

A mass is supported on a frictionless horizontal surface. It is attached to a string and rotates about a fixed centre at an angular velocity \(\omega_0.\) If the length of the string and the angular velocity are doubled, the tension in the string, which was initially \(T_0\), is now:
1. \(T_0\)
2. \(T_0/2\)
3. \(4T_0\)
4. \(8T_0\)

Three identical particles are joined together by a thread as shown in the given figure. All three particles are moving in horizontal circles centred at \(O\). If the velocity of the outermost particle is \(v_0\), then the ratio of tensions in the three sections of the string is:
