Two particles of mass $2m$ and $m$ are attached to a light string as shown. The complete system is rotated in a horizontal circle with a constant angular velocity $2\omega$ about an axis passing through point $O$ and perpendicular to the plane of the circle. Find the ratio $T_{OA} / T_{AB}$,where $T_{OA}$ and $T_{AB}$ are the tensions in strings $OA$ and $AB$ respectively.

  • A
    $4 : 1$
  • B
    $1 : 1$
  • C
    $2 : 1$
  • D
    $1 : 2$
