A solid sphere with uniform density and radius R is rotating initially with constant angular velocity $\left(\omega_1\right)$ about its diameter. After some time during the rotation its starts loosing mass at a uniform rate, with no change in its shape. The angular velocity of the sphere when its radius become $\mathrm{R} / 2$ is $x \omega_1$. The value of $x$ is $\_\_\_\_$ .
