Two spheres $P$ and $Q$ of equal masses are attached to a string of length $2\,\, m$ as shown in figure. The string and the spheres are then whirled in a horizontal circle about $O$ at a constant rate. What is the value of the ratio
$\left( {\frac{{{\text{Tension in the string between P and Q}}}}{{{\text{Tension in the string between P and O}}}}} \right)?$

A cyclist is riding with a speed of $27 \;km/h.$ As he approaches a circular turn on the road of radius $80\; m$, he applies brakes and reduces his speed at the constant rate of $0.50\; m/s$ every second. What is the magnitude and direction of the net acceleration of the cyclist on the circular turn ?
