A thin circular ring of mass \(M\) and radius \(r \) is rotating about its axis with constant angular velocity \(ω.\) Two objects each of mass \(m\) are attached gently to the opposite ends of the diameter of the ring. The ring now rotates with angular velocity given by:

1. \(\dfrac{2 M \omega}{M + 2 m}\)

2. \(\dfrac{\left(\right. M + 2 m \left.\right) \omega}{M}\)

3. \(\dfrac{M \omega}{M + 2 m}\)

A student measures the distance traversed in free fall of a body, initially at rest in a given time. He uses this data to estimate \(g,\) the acceleration due to gravity. If the maximum percentage errors in the measurement of the distance and the time are \(e_1\) and \(e_2\) respectively, the percentage error in the estimation of \(g\) is:
1. e1+2e2
2. e1+e2
3. e1-2e2
4. e2-e1
