The correct answer is:
decreases slightly
$m g \sin \theta-F_{r}=m a$
$F_{r}=\frac{2}{5} m r^{2} \frac{a}{r^{2}}$
$\Rightarrow a=\frac{5}{7} \frac{g \sin \theta}{R-r}$
$\omega=\sqrt{\frac{5 g}{7(R-r)}}$
$\Rightarrow T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{7(R-r)}{5 r}}$
$F_{r}=\frac{2}{5} m r^{2} \frac{a}{r^{2}}$
$\Rightarrow a=\frac{5}{7} \frac{g \sin \theta}{R-r}$
$\omega=\sqrt{\frac{5 g}{7(R-r)}}$
$\Rightarrow T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{7(R-r)}{5 r}}$
