Two particles of equal mass are connected to a rope 
of negligible mass, such that one is at end 
and the other dividing the length of the rope in the ratio 
from 
. The rope is rotated about end 
in a horizontal plane. Ratio of the tensions in the smaller part to the other is (ignore effect of gravity)
