Two spheres $P$ and $Q$ of equal masses $m$ are attached to a string of total length $2\, m$ as shown in the figure. The string and the spheres are then whirled in a horizontal circle about $O$ at a constant angular velocity $\omega$. The distance $OP = 1\, m$ and $PQ = 1\, m$. What is the value of the ratio $\left( \frac{\text{Tension in the string between } P \text{ and } Q}{\text{Tension in the string between } O \text{ and } P} \right)?$

  • A
    $1/2$
  • B
    $2/3$
  • C
    $3/2$
  • D
    $2$

$A$ small block of mass $m$ is placed on a wedge of mass $M$ as shown,which is initially at rest. All the surfaces are frictionless. The spring attached to the other end of the wedge has a force constant $k$. If $a'$ is the acceleration of $m$ relative to the wedge as it starts coming down and $A$ is the acceleration acquired by the wedge as the block starts coming down,then the maximum velocity of $M$ is:
