A particle \(P\) of mass \(m\) is moving in a horizontal circle with angular speed \(\omega_{1}\) on the smooth inner surface of a hemispherical shell of radius \(r\). The angle between the upward vertical and the normal reaction of the surface on \(P\) is \(\theta_{1}\), where \(\tan \theta_{1}=\frac{3}{4}\).

When the angular speed is increased to \(\omega_{2}\), the angle between the upward vertical and the normal reaction of the surface on \(P\) becomes \(\theta_{2}\), where \(\tan \theta_{2}=\frac{4}{3}\). Find the ratio \(\frac{\omega_{1}}{\omega_{2}}\).
