Two bodies A, B of masses m1, m2 are knotted to a mass-less string at different points rotated along concentric circles in horizontal plane. The distances of A, B from common centre are 50cm, 1m. If the tensions in the string between centre to A and A to B are in the ratio 5:4, then the ratio of m1 to m2 is:

Question
Two bodies A, B of masses m1, m2 are
knotted to a mass-less string at different
points rotated along concentric circles in
horizontal plane. The distances of A, B from
common centre are 50cm, 1m. If the
tensions in the string between centre to A
and A to B are in the ratio 5:4, then the ratio
of mi to m2 is:
