In Case 1, the tension in the left string is:

                    T = \frac{W}{2}

For Case 2:  

T = W(\frac{l}{2})

\alpha (\frac{1}{3} ml^2) = W(\frac{l}{2})

\alpha = \frac{3}{2} (\frac{W}{ml})

a = \frac{l}{2}\alpha = \frac{3}{2} (\frac{W}{ml})(\frac{l}{2}) = \frac{3}{4} \frac{W}{m}

ma = \frac{3}{4} W

W - T' = ma

T' = W - \frac{3}{4}W = \frac{W}{4}

\frac{T}{T'}= \frac{\frac{W}{2}}{\frac{W}{4}} = \frac{2}{1}
