    Two masses, both equal to $100\, g$, are suspended at the ends of identical light strings of length $\lambda = 1.0\, m$, attached to the same point on the ceiling (see figure). At time $t = 0$, they are simultaneously released from rest, one at angle $\theta_1 = 1^o$, the other at angle $\theta_2 = 2^o$ from the vertical. The masses will collide
