The two particles of mass m and 2m, respectively, are connected by a rigid rod of negligible mass and slide with negligible friction in a circular path of radius r on the inside of the vertical circular ring. If the unit is released from rest at θ = 0, determine 

(a) The velocity v of the particles when the rod passes the horizontal position.

(b) The maximum velocity v_max of the particles.

(c) The maximum value of θ.
