Two Blocks M₁ (= 0

Two blocks m₁ (= 0.4 kg) and m₂ (= 0.6 kg) are initially positioned at x = 0.6 and
X = 1.1m. One cord is used to couple the blocks together and another to attach m₁ to a vertical pole at the origin. The blocks are made to rotate in a horizontal circle on a frictionless surface. If the period of rotation is 0.4s then calculate the ratio of the tension for the inner cord divided by the tension in the outer cord.

A) 0.64
B) 1.4
C) 1.6
D) 0.74
E) 1.8
