Tom and Jerry are playing another round of chase. The rules today are a little unusual, but the goal is the same as always. Jerry runs, and Tom has to catch him.
Jerry runs along a perfect circle of radius R meters at a constant speed of V meters per second. Tom starts at the exact center of that circle. He wants to catch Jerry as soon as he can, but he never works out which direction would be fastest. He simply runs straight at whatever point Jerry occupies at that instant.
Because Jerry keeps moving, the track Tom leaves behind bends into a curve, as in the picture. At every moment Tom lies on the segment joining the center of the circle to Jerry's current position. Tom runs at a constant speed of V meters per second, the same speed as Jerry. Find how many seconds Tom needs to catch Jerry.
