Two identical charged spheres suspended from a common point by two massless strings of lengths $l,$ are initially at a distance $d\;(d < < l)$ apart because of their mutual repulsion. The charges begin to leak from both the spheres at a constant rate. As a result, the spheres approach each other with a velocity $v.$ Then $v$ varies as a function of the distance $x$ between the spheres, as
