Two racing cars of masses \(m_1\) and \(m_2\) are moving in circles of radii \(r_1\) and \(r_2\) respectively. Their speeds are such that each makes a complete circle in the same duration of time \(t\). The ratio of the angular speed of the first to the second car is:

1. \(m_1:m_2\) 2. \(r_1:r_2\)
3. \(1:1\) 4. \(m_1r_1:m_2r_2\)
