A bead sliding on a frictionless semi-circular string () and it is at point at and at this instant the horizontal component of its velocity is . Another bead of the same mass as is ejected from point at along the horizontal string , with the speed , friction between the beads and the respective strings may be neglected in both cases. Let and be the respective times taken by beads and to reach the point , then the relation between and is
