A thin circular ring of mass M and radius R is rotating in a horizontal plane about an axis vertical to its plane with a constant angular velocity ω. If two objects each of mass m are attached gently to the opposite ends of the diameter of the ring, the ring will then rotate with an angular velocity:

1. \(\frac{\omega(M-2 m)}{M+2 m} \) 2. \(\frac{\omega M}{M+2 m} \)
3. \(\frac{\omega(M+2 m)}{M} \) 4. \(\frac{\omega M}{M+m}\)
