Can Tension in Circular Motion Be Equal for Both Ropes?

[Lori]

Homework Statement

Homework Equations

F = mv^2/R

The Attempt at a Solution

I got that T1max = T2max because when i plugged into my formula for centripetal force, i get that both ropes end up with mv^2/R which means they are equal everywhere... Is this correct?

If the tensions were equal there would be no net force on mass 1 and it would be in rectilinear motion.

You have to calculate velocities for both masses as time period is same you can get relation between velocities. Here both masses is not moving with same centripetal force
