Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A)  \(\sqrt{3}: 2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given \(\mathrm{m}_1=\mathrm{m}_2\)

\(\text { and } \frac{\mathrm{r}_1}{\mathrm{r}_2}=\frac{3}{4}\)

As centripetal force \(F=\frac{\mathrm{mv}^2}{\mathrm{r}}\)

In order to have constant (same in this question) centripetal force

\( \mathrm{F}_1=\mathrm{F}_2 \)

\( \frac{\mathrm{m}_1 \mathrm{v}_1^2}{\mathrm{r}_1}=\frac{\mathrm{m}_2 \mathrm{v}_2^2}{\mathrm{r}_2} \)

\( \Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{v}_1}{\mathrm{v}_2}=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{r}_1}{\mathrm{r}_2}}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\)
