Two stones of masses \(m\) and \(2m\) are whirled in horizontal circles, the heavier one in a radius \(\frac{r}{2}\) and the lighter one in the radius \(r.\) The tangential speed of lighter stone is \(n\) times that of heavier stone when they experience the same centripetal forces. The value of \(n\) is:

One end of the string of length \(l\) is connected to a particle of mass \(m\) and the other end is connected to a small peg on a smooth horizontal table. If the particle moves in a circle with speed \(v\), the net force on the particle (directed towards the centre) will be: (\(T\) represents the tension in the string)
