The angular velocity of the object moving in the horizontal circle is given as $\boxed{\omega = \sqrt {\frac{g}{{L\sin \theta }}}}$ .

Further Explanation:

When the object moves in the horizontal circle about a fixed axis, then the vertical component of the tension in the wire is balanced by the weight of the object and the horizontal component of the tension in the wire is balanced by the centripetal force acting in the outward direction as shown in the figure below.

Let there be tension developed in the string due to the motion of the block in the horizontal circle and the mass of the block is .

The centripetal force acting on the block due to its motion in the circular path of radius is:

${F_c} = m{\omega ^2}r$

The force balancing equation on the box in the vertical direction is:

$T\sin \theta = mg$ .......(1)

The force balancing equation on the box in horizontal direction is:

$T\cos \theta = m{\omega ^2}r$ ......(2)

Divide equation (1) by (2).

$\dfrac{{T\sin \theta }}{{T\cos \theta }} = \dfrac{{mg}}{{m{\omega ^2}r}}$

Substitute $L\cos \theta$ for in above expression.

$\begin{aligned}\tan \theta &= \frac{g}{{{\omega ^2}L\cos \theta }}\\\omega &= \sqrt {\frac{g}{{L\cos \theta \tan \theta }}} \\&=\sqrt {\frac{g}{{L\sin \theta }}}\\\end{aligned}$

Thus, the angular velocity of the object moving in the horizontal circle is given as $\boxed{\omega = \sqrt {\frac{g}{{L\sin \theta }}}}$ .
