\end{figure} A hemispherical shell of radius \(a\) is fixed with its rim uppermost and horizontal. A small bead, \(B\), is moving with constant angular speed, \(\omega\), in a horizontal circle on the smooth inner surface of the shell. The centre of the path of \(B\) is at a distance \(\frac { 1 } { 4 } a\) vertically below the level of the rim of the hemisphere, as shown in Figure 1. Find the magnitude of \(\omega\), giving your answer in terms of \(a\) and \(g\).
