Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

Let $ \omega $ is the angular speed of revolution $ T _{3}=m{{\omega }^{2}}3l $

$ T _{2}-T _{3}=m{{\omega }^{2}}2l $

Therefore $ T _{2}=m{{\omega }^{2}}5l $

$ T _{1}-T _{2}=m{{\omega }^{2}}l\Rightarrow T _{1}=m{{\omega }^{2}}6l $

$ T _{3}:T _{2}:T _{1}=3:5:6 $
