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. \(3 : 5 : 6\)

2. \((Rg)^2\)
3.  \(R/g\)
4. \(\sqrt{Rg}\)
