Two circles have radius $2$ and $3$, and the distance between their centers is $10$. Let $E$ be the intersection of their two common external tangents, and $I$ be the intersection of their two common internal tangents. Compute $EI$. (A [i]common external tangent[/i] is a tangent line to two circles such that the circles are on the same side of the line, while a [i]common internal tangent[/i] is a tangent line to two circles such that the circles are on opposite sides of the line).

There is a ring outside of Saturn. In order to distinguish if the ring is actually a part of Saturn or is instead part of the satellites of Saturn, we need to know the relation between the velocity $v$ of each layer in the ring and the distance $R$ of the layer to the center of Saturn. Which of the following statements is correct? $\textbf{(A) }$ If $v \propto R$, then the layer is part of Saturn. $\textbf{(B) }$ If $v^2 \propto R$, then the layer is part of the satellites of Saturn. $\textbf{(C) }$ If $v \propto 1/R$, then the layer is part of Saturn. $\textbf{(D) }$ If $v^2 \propto 1/R$, then the layer is part of Saturn. $\textbf{(E) }$ If $v \propto R^2$, then the layer is part of the satellites of Saturn.
