A massless elastic cord (that obeys Hooke's Law) will break if the tension in the cord exceeds $T_{max}$. One end of the cord is attached to a fixed point, the other is attached to an object of mass $3m$. If a second, smaller object of mass m moving at an initial speed $v_0$ strikes the larger mass and the two stick together, the cord will stretch and break, but the final kinetic energy of the two masses will be zero. If instead the two collide with a perfectly elastic one-dimensional collision, the cord will still break, and the larger mass will move off with a final speed of $v_f$. All motion occurs on a horizontal, frictionless surface.
Find $v_f/v_0$.

There is a circle $c$ centered about the origin of radius $ 1$. There are circles $c_1$,$ . . .$ ,$c_6$, each of radius $r_1$, such that each circle is completely inside c and is tangent to it, and $c_2$ is tangent to $c_1$, $c_3$ is tangent to $c_2$, . . ., and $c_1$ is tangent to $c_6$. There is a circle $d$ which is tangent to $c$, $c_1$, and $c_2$, but does not intersect any of these circles. What is the radius of circle $d$? Express your answer in the form $\frac{a+b\sqrt{c}}{d}$ , where $a,b,c,d$ are integers, $d$ is positive and as small as possible, and $c$ is squarefree.
