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:

1. \(3 : 5 : 7\)
2. \(3 : 4 : 5\)
3. \(7 : 11 : 6\)
4. \(3 : 5 : 6\)
