Problem

Two identical blocks of mass mm are connected by a cord and placed on a frictionless horizontal table. One block is connected to a central pivot by another cord of length LL. The second block is attached to the first block such that it is at a distance 2L2L from the pivot. The entire assembly rotates with angular velocity ω\omega. Find the ratio of tension in the inner cord to the tension in the outer cord.
