Two identical charged spheres are suspended from a common point by two massless strings of length $l$. Initially,they are at a distance $d$ $(d << l)$ due to mutual repulsion. The charge begins to leak from both spheres at a constant rate. As a result,the spheres approach each other with a velocity $v$. Then,the velocity $v$ as a function of the distance $x$ between them is:
