A body of mass M moving at speed V₀ collides elastically with a mass 'm' at rest. After the collision, the two masses move at angles θ ₁ and θ ₂ with respect to the initial direction of motion of the body of mass M. The largest possible value of the ratio M/m, for which the angles θ ₁ and θ ₂ will be equal, is:
