Tension from string upon a rock

[littlkj5]

Homework Statement

Two 3 kg masses are attached to a string at r1=.5m and r2=1.5m from where the string is held in your hand. You swing them around together at 2 revolutions per second, each of them. The tension holding mass 2 (the distant part of the string) is what fraction of the tension near your hand?

Welcome to PF.

Are the blocks tied together in some way?

Like head to tail?

Thanks.

That is all the information I received on the question.
A hint that was given was:[Hint: you can work in proportions without having to numerically solve for either of the centripetal forces required on the two masses]

I read it more carefully. Apparently it is tied to the same string at each of the 2 radii.

What is the force of a single mass at some radius rotating in a circle?
