$A$ gas $A$ has $N$ molecules at temperature $T$ with mass $m$. Another gas $B$ has $2N$ molecules at the same temperature $T$ with mass $2m$. Both are contained in a vessel. If the $rms$ velocity of molecules of gas $B$ is $v$,and the $x$-component of the mean square velocity of molecules of gas $A$ is $w^2$,find the ratio $w^2/v^2$.
