A rod $P$ of length $1\ m$ is hinged at one end $A$ and there is a ring attached to the other end. Another long rod $Q$ is hinged at $B$ and it passes through the ring. The rod $P$ is rotated about an axis which is perpendicular to plane in which both the rods are present and the variation between the angles $\theta$ and $\phi $ are plotted as shown. The distance between the hinges $A$ and  $B$ is ....... $m$.
