(i) State two factors that would cause the masses to slide.
(ii) At the time that start sliding off, state the mass with the highest angular velocity,give reason for your answer.

(i)- Increased angular velocity.
-Reducing the friction by oiling or smoothening.
ii).X, since radius is smallest, angular velocity must be greatest to maintain the centripetal force.
