The object will slip if centripetal force $\geq$ force of

friction

${\operatorname{mr} \omega^{2} \geq \mu m g} $

${r \omega^{2} \geq \mu g}$

$\mathrm{r} \omega^{2} \geq \mathrm{constant}, \mathrm{or}\left(\frac{\mathrm{r}_{1}}{\mathrm{r}_{2}}\right)=\left(\frac{\omega_{2}}{\omega_{1}}\right)^{2}$

$\frac{4 \mathrm{cm}}{\mathrm{r}_{2}}=\left(\frac{2 \omega}{\omega}\right)^{2} \quad \therefore \mathrm{r}_{2}=1 \mathrm{cm}$
