Two masses \(M\) and \(m\) are attached to a vertical axis by weightless threads of combined length \(l\). They are set in rotational motion in a horizontal plane about this axis with constant angular velocity \(ω\). If the tensions in the threads are the same during motion, the distance \(x\) of \(M\) from the axis is:

1. \(\dfrac{Ml}{M+m}\)

2. \(\dfrac{ml}{M+m}\)

3. \(\dfrac{M+m}{M}l\)

4. \(\dfrac{M+m}{m}l\)
